Work Ethics Appearance

Appearance

Appearance is one work ethic that really shows. Take pride in how people perceive you. Your clothes should be clean and pressed. Make a habit of bathing daily along with such necessities as brushing your teeth and breathing. Behavior affects appearance. Learn to be polite and attend to people's needs.

Not being groomed, being neat, practicing good personal hygiene or using correct or polite behavior can effect your job by making your employer not feel you are appropriate for the job if you can't tend to these important things

You need e-mail etiquette because to be professional it is the right thing to apply by.

5 e-mail etiquette rules are:

1. Be concise and to the point.
2. Answer all questions, and pre-empt further questions.
3. Use proper spelling, grammar & punctuation.
4. Make it personal.
5. Use templates for frequently used responses.

There are several ways I can work on my work ethics, Appearance by working on my behavior, and maybe pressing some of my clothes.

Self-Esteem

Self-Esteem

Self-esteem is your overall opinion of yourself — how you honestly feel about your abilities and limitations. When you have healthy self-esteem, you feel good about yourself and see yourself as deserving the respect of others. When you have low self-esteem, you put little value on your opinions and ideas. You might constantly worry that you aren't "good enough.

"Discussions about self-esteem often are centered on children. However, many adults could benefit from improving their self-esteem. Here's how to tell if your self-esteem needs a boost and why it's important to develop a healthy sense of your own worth.Relationships with those close to you — parents, siblings, peers, teachers and other important contacts — are especially important to your self-esteem. Many beliefs you hold about yourself today reflect messages you've received from these people over time.

If your close relationships are strong and you receive generally positive feedback, you're more likely to see yourself as worthwhile and have healthier self-esteem. If you receive mostly negative feedback and are often criticized, teased or devalued by others, you're more likely to struggle with poor self-esteem.Still, your own thoughts have perhaps the biggest impact on self-esteem — and these thoughts are within your control. If you tend to focus on your weaknesses or flaws, you can learn to re-frame negative thoughts and focus instead on your positive qualities.

This is a work ethic that I know I could use some work on.  I need to work on feeling better about myself and putting more value on my opinions and ideas.

Leadership/Cooperation

Leadership/Cooperation

Because leadership skills are developed—you are not born with them—don’t forget to give your leadership skills a workout at every opportunity.  This does not mean that you should go around telling people what to do, but be aware of opportunities to be a leader.  For instance, when working with a group, try to get a cooperative effort from the group rather than have everyone pulling in a different direction.  You can provide leadership by taking actions that would help the group complete its task and by helping the group members maintain good working relationships.  Such practice will help you develop your own leadership style.Leaders have a somewhat special point of view.  Their basic aim is to get other people to do things.  Even though it may sometimes seem that being a supervisor would be easy because anybody can give orders, that is not true.  Some managers may try to manage by ordering people about, but these managers are usually not very productive.  Bossing people is not leading them.  You can get only so far trying to boss people because they resent it.  Most people would rather be led than bossed. Leaders get more out of people than bosses do.

I think some ways I could work on my leadership skills would be to learn to work in a group setting better by asserting myself and not being so shy.  I try to always cooperate will anyone I am working on something with.
