The Great First Impression

“Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Since young, our parents always taught us not to judge someone based on their physical appearance. However, how many of us really do not judge others? We often judge others by the way they dress up themselves, the way they talk and etc. We CANNOT, NOT make a first impression. We form opinions about people through seeing and hearing. By hearing, it also helps us to form opinions about some whom we do not know. For example, if someone told you that the boy sitting next to you is a drug addict, will you be friend with him or will you keep a distance away from him in order to avoid unwanted circumstances?

Now, how can we create great first impressions of others towards us? People first judge us through physical appearance. Our appearances can tell others a thousand and one thing about us. For example, if you are fresh graduates and you are going for an interview, you have to make sure that you have to wear a darker colour or a blazer to add power to your position knowing that you are fresh grads. Besides, the way you posture yourself during an interview is also very important. Handshake with the interviewer is also very important. It is one of the key to successful interview. A firm handshake shows that you are confident of yourself.

Next, we can also create great first impressions through our body language. If you are meeting up someone for the very first time, always be ahead of time and never be late. This can help others to have a good impression on you. If you showed up on time, others know that you have excellent time management. Besides, always smile and greet others no matter to someone you known or even a stranger. A smile can bring a relationship closer. People will think that you are a very warm and friendly person.

Time Management

People always form their first impression about us when they meet us. The first impression of others towards us is very important as it determines the relationship between us and others. A good first impression towards us can help to create a good relationship with others. On the other hand, if people have a very bad first impression about you, that moment will be the first and last moment of your relationship with the others. First good impression about us can also determine the degree of likeness of others towards you.
