When it comes to the world of finance, first impressions mean everything. First impressions also mean that not everyone is treated equally, and people who look and sound the part are received better than people who make a poor first impression. 36
Timing
It only takes 30 seconds to make a lasting impression, and this is true even when you’re not there. This means don’t be late. 37 Being late shows that you don’t have respect for other people’s time. This is not the impression you want to give your employer.
Handshake
Your handshake can say a lot about you. 38 Too tight, you’re domineering(盛气凌人的). A warm and firm handshake is perfectly acceptable.
Body language
Your body movements are part of both your personality and appearance. Use them wisely. Carry yourself with confidence, like you’re very successful, even you’re not. Walk in with purpose and power will give you an air of confidence. 39
Knowledge
If your interviewer asks you what you think of the company’s recent efforts, the last thing you want to do is just stare back. Do your research. 40 Who founded it? What is their goal? You want to show the employer that you care enough to read up on who they are.
A. When was the company founded?
B. You may not be able to recover from it.
C. Too loose, you’re weak or not confident.
D. You’re expected to ask intelligent questions.
E. Here are a few tips that help you make your first impression.
F. By doing this, you can leave a good impression in your interview.
G. Being late will ruin your first impression in the eyes of your interviewer.
