Importance Of A First Impression

By Lori Buenavista


People say you will never get a second chance to make a very first impression. So, what sort of impression do individuals have when they first see you? Listed below are 5 tricks to make a great first impression:

Stand Tall

Healthy posture is one of the best indications that you are a confident, energetic person. People who slouch, droop and duck their heads are noticed as shy, slack and boring. So, remain straight, shoulders back, head held high.

Dress to Impress

Your clothing says a great deal about your personality, proper grooming and a feeling of suitability. Don't be worried to let your clothing reflect your very own style. A pretty scarf, fascinating tie or cool hat can help others form an impression of you that is true to who you really are.

Clothe yourself in clothing that fits properly; people with body image issues often wear baggy, bulky attire that only acts to make them look careless. Otherwise, wearing clothing that is too tight and too small gives a bad impact. Find attire that fits properly for a great impression.

Put on attire that is clean, pressed and in good repair if you would like individuals to see you as organized, tidy and detail-oriented.

Finally, dress correctly for the occasion. Jeans and a t-shirt aren't right for most business meetings; a business suit isn't the best outfit for a backyard BBQ. Put on clothing right for your age, too.

Smile

Keep in mind when your mommy told you to, "Wipe that look off your face!" She wasn't kidding-when you're frowning, pouting or smirking, people form instant negative impressions of you. On the other hand, when you're smiling, your whole face lights up. How do you want individuals to see you?

Get in touch with Confidence

When meeting someone for the first time, step forward, extend your hand, smile and introduce yourself. You'll exhibit a sense of well-being, happiness and confidence, and others will form a positive impression of you instantly. Then, strike up a conversation. Ask your new acquaintance about his connections to the host, or find some other common ground and communicate with confidence. Listen closely more than you talk, and others' positive first impressions of you will only get better.

Arrive Prepared

Before going into a business or social situation during which you'll be meeting new people, perform a little bit of research. Before going to the interview, research the company's background, its services or products and its people. You may use the same strategy for social scenarios. As an example, if you're attending an art gallery show, figure out little information about the artists featured. Then, whenever you meet new friends for the first time, you'll have something to talk about, and you'll make a first impression as an intriguing, engaging person.
