What make a person an IT professional? Nowadays just being competent in IT field is not enough to be called a professional, there's much more to it. Of course, having a broad knowledge of the field is necessary but what you also need are good communication skills. Working as an IT professional most likely means working in a company/team, especially if it's big project. No matter how good you are at doing your task, completing it with support of few other people is way more efficient, so having teamwork skill is a must for a professional. Being able to clearly communicate with your team, helping or teaching if needed will go a long way. Knowing more languages is a big bonus because it increases your ability to communicate.
Another thing a professional must have is good adaptability. Be it changes in work environment, team you work with or even in the way you think. Thinking of new creative solutions and quickly adapting to changes is definitely a sign of professionalism.
Now, talking about being an IT professional in Estonia, I don't think it's much different from most other places. If you want to get employed, in addition to the things written above, you of course need work experience. To get it you should try to take part in as many different projects or startups as you can or if you are confident enough in your abilities, try starting your own. Having a university graduation certificate can also help.
