Make the first impression last

When you are interviewing for a job,one of the keys to success is your first impression.If you are about to go in for an interview,maybe it is time to re-evaluate the first impression you give off. Do you come off as likable?Do you exude professionalism and charm?

The goal of every first impression is to stick to a person's brain.You want them to instantly like you and keep thinking about you hours or even days after your first met them.Here are few things we can all do to give a killer first impression.

     Dress to impress: You do not want to walk into an interview looking like a slob.If you look sloopy;people will assume you do sloppy work.Look neat and presentable.Also,dress so you will fit in with the people who are interviewing you.For attorneys that means conservative suits,white shirts and ties. If your job is more creative,say like a graphic designer,dress so it looks like you are creative.

       look fit:People are attracted to people in good physical shape.If you are out of shape,start heading to the gym everyday for 30 minutes of cardio and strength training .Also,quite eating junk and start eating healthy.

      Give an impressive handshake:The first hand shake is a key part in giving a good first impression.

      Focus on speaking:

Speak clearly and at a moderate pace.work on varying your voice intonation.You do not want to come off as a monotone bore.Also,speak the language of the person interviewing you.Avoid slang and jargon not associated with the job you are interviewing for.Use proper grammar and  vocabulary that reflect a higher education.If people cannot understand you,it is hard for them  to like you.

       Use the person's name:

Using the interviewer's name makes the conversation more personable .It also shows that you were paying attention during introduction and that the other person was important enough for you to memories their name.However,avoid overusing a person's name.Too much name use sounds fake and a little bit creepy.

       Let the person know you are listening:

If it looks like you are not listening,people will be turned off.Give subtle hints that you are listening such as looking the person in the eye,nodding 'I' see'.Also,ask questions about what someone had just said.It shows you have been paying attention and that you want to know more about what they are saying.Finally, do not interrupt.

       Shine the spotlight on the other person:

The secret to charm is directing attention away from you and on to the other person.Avoid blabbing about yourself and start asking questions about the other person.Like,'How did you end up at(name of company)?' and so on.You will not only get key insights about your potential employer,but the questions also require the interviewer to talk about themselves,which most people absolutely love................Agencies
