强制Http Get接受带或不带参数的请求

考虑控制器:

public class EmployeeController : ApiController
{
    // https://localhost:44344/api/employee/:profession
    [HttpGet]
    [Route("api/employee/{profession}")]
    public HttpResponseMessage Get(String profession)
    {            

        try
        {
            var someBigList = ...
            /// ... do some stuff
            return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, someBigList );
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            // error
        }
    }


}

控制器接受以下形式的请求:

https://localhost:44344/api/employee/:profession

但是当我尝试

https://localhost:44344/api/employee

没有。

我们如何解决GET请求以接受两者?
