Communication with Employers
3 Professional Expectations
Employers have expectations for professionalism during the recruitment process that are important for their workplace, including: professional conduct and communication.
Conduct and Attitude
Professional conduct and a positive attitude are also expectations of the workplace, including:
- Being considerate and polite, even when dealing with someone difficult
- Demonstrate an attitude that is committed, reliable, pleasant, positive, and helpful
- Managing your time and meeting deadlines (being punctual)
Communication Skills
Communication skills are important, whether they are used with supervisors, co-workers, or clients. Expectations around professional behaviours when it comes to how we communicate include:
- Learning people’s names
- Respecting confidentiality
- Listen actively: seek first to understand, ask for clarification, and paraphrase what you hear
“Effective communication builds a positive atmosphere where teams can flourish. When communication is positive and encouraging, team members become stronger and work better together. Those who practice good communication skills make working beside them easier and less stressful.”
