First Impressions Always Count

Many people agree that the first impression you make on the interviewer can be a deciding factor and is of upmost importance when it comes to a job interview. A small bit of effort can have a big outcome when it comes to first impressions. Here are some tips on how to make good first impression:

 

 

It is important to show the interviewer that you are organised and punctual. You should always plan ahead and give yourself extra time to arrive to the specified location. Punctuality is a very beneficial trait to have and it can be a deciding factor.

 

 

What you wear to an interview is very important and can be a judgement of character. A well-presented appearance demonstrates that you care about the job and are willing to make the effort. It is best to go for business savvy outfits such as blazers for women and suits for men, however you must also be comfortable in what you are wearing. Keep makeup and accessories to a minimum and be sure to keep your hair neat and pulled away from your face.

 

 

It is very important to research the company before going in for the interview. It is always a good sign to know as much as you can on the position you have applied for, as well as the company in general. It is a sign of confidence as well as a sign of preparation. 

 

 

If you are nervous and panicky this will most likely show on your face and make you and the interviewer feel uncomfortable. Take a deep breath and relax. Confidence goes a long way in an interview and it can help you stand out from the competition.
