First impressions are powerful! You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression, so make the most of it! Here are some suggestions:

Dress the part

People make first impressions not only by what you say, but by what you wear. They are positively impressed by attractiveness and tidiness. You don’t have to look like a runway model, but you need to polish your image.

Catch their eye

The bottom line is that you have to be polite, so they have a good feeling about you. When you first meet the interviewer shake their hand, look them in the eyes and say you are pleased to meet them. This technique is highly impressive and always lives a lasting impression.

Mind your manners

Answer the question in a confident, firm voice -you need to appear self-assured- answers shouldn’t be one word or one sentence. However, they shouldn’t go on too long either. Finally, thank the interviewer for their time and ask when you can expect to hear more about your next interview.
