First Impressions

It has been said that in the first 30 seconds that someone meets you, they create opinions about you based on what they see! You never get a second chance to make that first impression! There is a famous quote, “A first impression is a lasting impression.” What does your first impression say about you? How can you know if you are giving off a great first impression?

There was a study done that suggests that a twenty minute interview for a job is a waste of time. The fact is, the interviewer can actually sum you up just by looking at you, and decide within a few seconds if they plan on hiring you! They look at how you are dressed and your posture then form an impression from there. Maybe this is why the trend of speed dating is so popular right now! There is no need to waste a lot of time when you already know if you have an interest in the other person or not! Scary but true! The reality is that we all make judgments about others based on looks. Do your best to present yourself with style and confidence!

 Here are some ideas to help you take a quick inventory of what your first impression might be:

1. Be sure to make eye contact. Nothing shows confidence and trustworthiness more than eye contact. Look at the person that you just met. Let them know that you have self-confidence and are happy to meet them!

2. Smile! Smile, because a genuine smile is contagious! Smile with your eyes and whole face and they will reciprocate!

3. Attend to your personal grooming. Your grooming gives the other person an immediate opinion about you. Don’t look like a slob-even if it is your day off. Good grooming, styled hair and clean and neat appearance always puts your best foot forward. Good grooming shows that you care for yourself—and they should too!

4. Clothes definitely make the man—or woman! What do your clothes say about you? They are sending messages! Do you know how to dress your body to show off your best features?  Do you know how to minimize areas that you want to play down?  Do the colors you are wearing bring out your natural beauty and make you glow?

By working on your physical appearance, and knowing how to dress your body with some style basics, you will smile brighter and it will bring out you natural beauty! People are naturally attracted to those that have charisma. Your first impression can draw people to you like a magnet. So, make sure that each day you dress, put some thought into it! You are making a first impression, each and every day!
