• Describe and explain what you viewed. Answer the following questions in your response:
• Were the individuals professional?
• What made the individuals professional (consider attire, communication skills, presentation of self, etc.)?
• After reviewing the slides, describe areas that would be unprofessional in your field when considering attire and presentation of self?
• Include any additional thoughts.

Part 2: Personal Reflection and Connection (4 paragraphs)

• What is the appropriate attire for an individual in your profession?
• Note: you may want to research this by talking to those in your profession or researching appropriate attire for your profession as this may differ from what you viewed in the presentations. Review a brief overview of what is not appropriate attire in the majority of career fields.
• Describe what makes someone a professional in your field. Use research and/or reflect on your personal experiences and what you know about your profession (or the profession you will work in).
• What behavioral attributes do you practice that identify you as a professional (review the course content for ideas)?
