The materials were the data of the questionnaire survey and the text comments of the attestation participants. All data were collected during the study in 2018. The results of the study show that a qualified worker, in the view of our respondents, is one who works strictly in accordance with the job instruction, has a strictly limited area of responsibility, and has a good knowledge of the skills and knowledge necessary directly for his work. Along with this, a qualified worker should be minimally involved (and better not at all) in the “external” / “extra” activity, which includes various events and publications on professional topics. This clear desire to “limit” the area of its activities / profession runs counter to, for example, the ideas of building horizontal professional connections, sharing experience with colleagues and receiving feedback, etc., that arise inevitably in modern professional communities
