That First Impression

The first time doing anything can be scary.  When you are looking for a job, there are a lot of "firsts".  Even if you have worked before, it will be the first time you meet the people at this new company. You want to make a good impression. How do you make yourself feel comfortable for that first interview?

• One of the first things you can do, is to relax.  Take a deep breath. 
• Then, tell yourself that you are going to be the best you can be.  
• Arrive a few minutes early so you have a chance to do this. 
• Ahead of time, make sure you have a fresh, up-to-date copy (or two) of your resume. 
• Also, make sure you have learned something about the company.  
• Have two or three questions to ask the interviewers.  (DON'T ask them about pay, benefits or vacations until you have the job!)

  
Your first impression will be one of a calm, businesslike employee that has what it takes to do a great job!
