Grow Up!

There are so many little things, when taken care, can make a big difference to your professional outlook. At college, you are still a student and can do as you please! But once at work, please realize that there are so many jobless people noticing you. The way you carry yourself, reflect the kind of professional you are.

Listing those little things which sometimes is missed grossly.

1. Think twice before you scratch an itch. I am not sure if itch guard is a good alternative, but do guard your instincts.

2. Telephone is a device you speak into. You point should reach only the person on the other side of the line and not to people around you.

3. Converse of the above. You can murmur. But extended such personal conversations can be irritating.

4. Maintain a queue where one is expected. Worse, don't cut an existing one.

5. For goodness sake, when you are in a queue stand alone! Don't hold hands, hips, shoulders of your friend. Grow up!

6. Check if someone has the time and width to accommodate your questions/clarifications. Don't just barge in

7. Dress-up to command respect neither to kill nor kindle

8. However the opponent is dressed-up, look at their eyes and face when you speak
I have noticed more often, women do to women and men do to men - giving a glance at the outfit as they speak!! It is highly irritating

9. If there is a mirror in a public place, you can definitely glance into it. But for adjusting your hair-style, looking at the pimples, moustache, etc. please use the one in the rest-room. For heaven sake don't use it to look at people standing around you. That is not a rear-view mirror.
I see more men do the above! who said women are beauty conscious?

10. You may be the boss. But above and other company rules/standards applies to you too.

I would like to add one more

1) While in a line to take food, please concentrate on that alone.. do not indulge in phone conversation and delay the entire lot standing behind.

badari,

krishis,
lots of instances at work., indicating immaturity

blogsurya,
Obviously, I wouldn't dare tell people at their face.. that ging would be so unprofessional..'Mind your business' is the golden rule. This is just for self-evaluation

mukund,
kovam ellaam illai.. konjam kashtama irundhudhu.. They might be excellent workers, but professionalism needs a little extra is my opinion

balaji,
anubavichu solreengalo?
