Being Professional

Means:

• Having the mindset that Investigations is a
Profession, not just a job
• Knowing and understanding that Investigators work
hand-in-hand with the business and legal
community
• By and large, you are entering a white-collar world
• As such, proper attire is desired (think client
meetings, trials/hearings)
• Proper, professional language is desired (white
collar vs. Blue collar)
• Professionalism also extends into your actions

Attention To Detail!

• It’s the little things that allow you to see the big picture clearly

• Quality Control

• Preparedness – Preparation without anticipation; Prepare for anything,
anticipate nothing
