why is it clear to communicate your ideas clearly verbally or in written form?
It's essential to communicate your ideas both verbally and written for various reasons. for example in today's world we often communicate via email or internet network especially in work related communication. Therefore this type of communication requires writing skills. and if we can't clearly write our ideas or statements in a professional or casual manner you could mislead our employee (or friend)and you can lose a job (or a engaging friend). Although most of the work related communication is now via email we still have to use our verbal skills very frequently because for example in a work place area ideas are often requested from you and if you can clearly describe your idea to your colleagues no matter how good it is it will never be deeply consider. Therefore is every essential to be comfortable with both types of communication.
How can you be prepare for a job interview?
One should always be prepare for a job interview if he or she wants to obtain the job. Having positive attitude and enthusiasm about the job and the company can be very helpful. you should always be careful because you can always over due enthusiasm and instead of helping it might actually effect your changes of getting the job. another think to have in mind before and during the interview is that the interviewer is always analyzing your actions, therefore you should avoid demonstrating your negative traits. Another thing to always remember is to give a firm handshake to the interviewer and look at him in the eyes, also remember to be arrive at the interview 15 minutes before to show initiative and professionalism. Be "positive and out beat" when you answer so you can show that you are willing to do the work and get the job done.
How can you show professionalism?

professionalism consist of many things like responsibility integrity and excellence. Indeed professionalism is a key aspect for any individual because its not only recurred at work but in all places and aspects. for example although school is not a work place students still need to demonstrate professionalism since their attitude and effort also influence teachers to grade them. The man in the video talked about showing initiative therefore I believe that by showing initiative with our class work we will not only show professionalism but we will also impress our professors. We students can also demonstrate professionalism by attending class on time because it burst and shows your enthusiasm about the class.
