It’s of common sense that most people at my age are now seeking for good job

opportunities. Thus, I have to get to know how to leave a good first impression in a
job interview. Today, I would like to share with you some of my knowledge about
this topic.
In a professional situation, the first impressions are significantly important. Most
job interviews don’t last more than 45 minutes. In such a short period of time, from
those who don’t know anything about ourselves, we have to persuade them that we
are qualified enough for the position we applied for. Thus, a good first impression
can help to increase the success rate in our application process.
There are many things a candidate can do to create a positive first impression. You
may follow these tips such as arriving on time for the interview, dressing formally,
use appropriate ways of behaviour and communications. Besides, there are some
noted points that you should pay much attention to like job description, company
information which you acquired through researches. By going through the required
tasks and skills for the vacancy, company’s culture or giving some suggestions to
improve the productivity of the tasks you might be in charge of when you take that
position can help you stand out from other candidates. For me, I would choose to
follow all tips above.
Apart from the first impression, I strongly believe that last impressions are
important as well. Often we are not accepted immediately in the interview. The
recruiting team will have to take into account all candidates’ performances during
the interview to choose the most suitable ones for the position. Therefore first
impressions alone are not enough, we have to build a strong relationship with
recruiters by making a good last impression too. By doing so, we show our respect
to the recruiters and the job we apply for.
Being in a job interview is not an enjoyable experience. However, we have to get
through it to pursue our dream jobs. Thus, we should prepare well enough for
occasions like that.
