FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Research by psychologists has shown that people decide what they think of you within four minutes of a first meeting, therefore is very important to make a good impression right from the start. Get all of your preparation out of the way well in advance, and allow plenty of time to get to the interview so you arrive in a cool calm state. Arrive ten minutes early and use the bathroom facilities to smarten your appearance. You will not be so nervous if you are well prepared and look your best. Confidence is the magic word, if you are confident then you will be relaxed and able to talk lucidly about yourself, you will be able to look the interviewer in the eyes, you will not fidget- you will have the potential to clinch the job. If you are not feeling very self-assured just think, you wouldn’t have reached the interview stage if you didn’t possess the attributes that the company desires. Looking your best and being well prepared should help, so that when you meet the interviewer you will be able to greet them openly with a smile, look them in the eyes and shake their hands.
