A
Here are some professions Americans consider to be the most honest. Maybe the rest of us can learn from what these people do to establish good relationships with others.
MEDICAL DOCTORS
Jack Jacob, Age: 44, Fountain Valley, California
I try to introduce myself in a pleasant way. I sit down. I don’t stand. I make good eye contact with the patient and his or her family. Communication skills are key, as well as showing understanding and availability. For a physician, the most rewarding thing is when someone who has seen your work chooses you.
ENGINEERS
Chrissy Keane, Age: 41, Crofton, Maryland
I don’t know that being an engineer means you are automatically trustworthy. However, I do think that most engineers like to follow rules and be organized. They tell you what they think, whether you want to hear it or not. Those are important elements in building trust.
POLICE OFFICERS
G.M.Cox, Age: 64, Fort Worth, Texas
As a police officer, I have the best interests of the people I serve in my heart and in my actions and I’m going to treat everyone the same way. I always want to go up to people and speak to them with respect. Don’t talk down to them. You have to establish and maintain that trust. Be equal!
