ponderings on professionalism

What are traits of professionalism? Here's a short list of my current learnings.
  • staying late if the situation requires it
  • having a passion for your job
  • making sure things get done properly
  • everything that falls under customer commitment- not just for the hours or the money but because you're proud of what you do
  • showing up on time
  • if they ask for something and you think it's not the best thing to do, tell them no, no matter what. You could do it and just pocket the money, but don't.
