Making a Good First Impression


The first impression is a lasting one. First impressions are important and can be a major factor in an employer’s decision to give you the job or internship.  It can even affect relationships with your professors, co-workers, and supervisors.

Currently, I am applying to graduate school for the fall semester. Right now I am at the interviewing stage. The first impression is key for me right now. So This is what I have learned.

In order to make a good first impression you should connect with the person. You can make that connection by being yourself, having good eye-contact, and by showing interest.

As people, we have a remarkable ability to tell if somebody is being honest and genuine. Often, when I exaggerate my experience or I am too shy to admit my expertise, I find that I am unable to connect with the person I am speaking too. You will connect the most with the person by being candid about your experiences. If you are honest about areas of improvement, the employer or professor may take a personal investment in helping you.

Additionally, you can connect with somebody with good eye-contact.  Eye-contact shows confidence and interest. Too much eye-contact can be intimidating; but, the right amount of eye contact will show that you are engaged in the conversation and also that you are confident in your abilities. 

My last suggestion is to show genuine interest in the person you are meeting and the opportunity in front of you. You can ask the person about themselves and how they got to the position they are in today. If you are being offered an opportunity, ask questions to show that you are invested. 

You do not have to impress an employer, internship coordinator, professor or a graduate school administrator by exaggerating your accomplishments or claiming to have qualities that you do not. Connect with your interviewer by being genuine and by being interested in the opportunity in front of you.
