Importance of first impression in Employment

Well, a lot of people, especially in the Asian Countries say that first impression is lasting. Even when I was a child, my mother told me having the first impression not only on persons but also on other objects as long as they are living and non-living creatures by the Omnipotent Being. Up to now my mind has been bothered by the words, phrases and sentences uttered to me by my loving mother, but I don’t have regrets because all of them are spices to my ears and eyes to ponder upon such wonderful messages from my mother.



According to an anonymous American author, just to corroborate what she said, making a great first impression takes just a quick glance, maybe three seconds, for someone to evaluate you when you meet for the first time. In this short time, the other person forms an opinion about you based on your appearance, your body language, your demeanor, your mannerisms, and how you are dressed. With every new encounter, you are evaluated and yet another person’s impression of you is formed. These first impressions can be nearly impossible to reverse or undo, making those first encounters extremely important, for they set the tone for all the relationships that follow. So, whether they are in your career or social life, it’s important to know how to create a good first impression.

• First tip is you should be on time which means that you should not tolerate yourself to delay your appointment because your customer will be impatient of waiting for you which is irritating on his part.


• Second tip is you present yourself appropriately which means that you act in accordance with good manners and ethical standards with proper dress code if you make an interview or make any business to the person concerned.


• Third tip is you wear a winning smile which means that you have to be friendly, comfortable with when it comes to conversation, etc., especially when you are meeting with someone and be smiling when making an interview just to avoid conflict and nervousness on the concerned.

Surely the first impressions will bridge you to your dream career may it be local or international.
