PLT Canada’s skill-building webinars are a great place to practice your professionalism.
Professionalism includes “the way you carry yourself, your attitude and the ways you communicate with others.” How can you do this?
- Use professional, polite language: Avoid slang, swear words, and inappropriate terms
- Be punctual: Arrive to the webinar on time or a few minutes early to make a good impression
- Participate: Ask and answer questions, write in the chat, and use the time to make new connections and grow your network
Professional video call etiquette
If possible, turn your camera on for face-to-face interaction.
- Sit in front of a plain or clean background
- Move to a quiet area if possible
- Dress in work-appropriate clothes (a nice sweater, blouse, button up shirt, or collared shirt)
- Ensure your whole head is in the frame
