Open Door

That?s how long it takes for an employer to decide whether they want to hire you or not. First impressions set the tone for the interview and in the vast majority of cases, once that impression is set, it is not usually turned around. So here are some important tips you can use to ensure you make a great first impression.

Energy level. Show some bounce in your step. Act like you are excited to be there and are filled with ideas.

Eye contact. Look the interviewer right in the eye to make person-to-person contact. And SMILE like you are happy to see them. People instinctively react well to happy, smiling people.

Watch your handshake. Everyone knows that a dead-fish handshake is the kiss of death. So are sweaty palms (put baby powder in your pocket if you have to). Knowing that a handshake is so important, have you tested yours? Try shaking your loved ones? hand and see how it works. Women in particular tend to overcompensate and shake hands too hard.

Dress appropriately.
