Five Strategies for Making a Good First Impression
When you meet someone for the first time, that person’s first impression of you may go on to mold (сформировать) his overall opinion of you, which can result in how he treats you in the future. Making a good first impression goes beyond saying the right words; it consists of your appearance, the way in which you carry yourself (держитесь, умеете подать себя) and the way in which you communicate.
Attitude
Interviewers, managers and co-workers typically prefer someone who radiates positivity (излучает позитив). Most people want to surround themselves with other positive people. When you first meet someone and give off a negative vibe, the person’s first impression of you will also likely be negative. Avoid speaking ill of prior employers, co-workers and situations. Examples of confidence include standing straight and looking at others when you talk.
