I don't know if I agree with the word professional. It does signal things like: wearing a suit, talking the talk, playing politics well, turning up on time, etc

I don't know if I agree with the word professional. It does signal things like: wearing a suit, talking the talk, playing politics well, turning up on time, etc... The only things that are important to me are that the person is honest, a hard-worker, intelligent, a clear communicator and has common sense.
