The other day I was interacting with our new Dean, when he told me of some tips on how to be a great professional. I found the points to be very plain and really beneficial. Here they are being reproduced for the benefit of the public.
1. Be positive
2. Be prepared
3. Be persistent
4. Be patient
5. Be precise
6. Be polite
7. Be punctual
I found them to be very true and am reproducing here so that somebody can benefit from it.
