Field Professionalism: Beyond the Clean Shirt

Professionalism in the ICT industry goes beyond technical skills to encompass how technicians carry themselves, communicate, and build trust through consistent, quality work.

• Credentials serve as "career insurance" – showing your commitment to building a career, not just pulling cable
• Your appearance sends signals about work quality – if your shirt has holes, clients wonder what the cable looks like behind walls
• Building reputation happens when no one is watching – showing up early, staying off your phone, and taking notes builds trust
• You're the face of your company on site – clients remember you, not the salesperson who sold them the project
• Lead before you have the title – help new techs, share knowledge, and stay calm during chaotic situations
• Communication skills matter – explain technical concepts at the customer's level and confirm understanding
• Business ethics build long-term success – never trash-talk previous work, document change requests, and maintain confidentiality
• Follow-up and follow-through distinguish professionals – document everything, leave job sites clean, and communicate changes promptly
