How to Act Professional

Whether you're trying to secure a job or impress someone you've just met, there are many ways to act professionally and make a good impression. Follow these steps to create an impression of a professional, mature individual.

Instructions

1. Spit out your gum. You wont look professional while smacking your chops on a piece of bubble gum!

2. Quit fidgeting. Fidgeting is not a professional trait; harness your movements in order to make a good impression.

3. Expand your vocabulary in order to come across as more professional.

4. Speak more slowly and clearly in order to be more professional and make a good impression. Speak with confidence.

5. Refrain from using slang; mature individuals steer clear of slang and filler words such as "like". Watch your choice of words in order to make a good impression.

6. Dress maturely; go for a business casual style to make the best first impression. Business casual usually involves clean, simple pieces in black, white, and other earthy tones. Steer clear prints that are too busy, and keep the jewelry and makeup to a minimum.
