As we discussed in our last blog, being prepared is key to having a successful interview. However, all of that preparation means little of you don’t also make a good first impression. In fact, our research shows that initial impressions are made within the first minute of an employment interview. You can make a positive first impression if you:
Bring a fresh copy of your resume.
Start the interview with good eye contact and maintain it throughout the interview. Eye contact is key! You will benefit greatly from looking them in the eye.
Wear professional business attire, preferably a dark blue or black suit with understated accessories and jewelry.
Make sure your clothing is meticulously clean and color coordinated. Shoes should be polished.
Create a more polished appearance by being well groomed with neat hair and nails (go ahead and treat yourself to a haircut or a manicure before the interview).
Make sure you have a firm handshake.
