You have to add them to the properties list.

help Get-AdUser -online

Read the whole help carefully.

Try this to get all properties

get-aduser -f * -Searchbase "ou=powershell,dc=contoso,dc=com" -properties *|select -first 1

and this to select your properties

get-aduser -f * -Searchbase "ou=powershell,dc=contoso,dc=com" -properties titel,department
