Have you ever heard the phrase: “A picture is worth a thousand words”? It means that first impressions play a fundamental role in our society (whether in the work, academic, or leisure environment), because how the people you just met treat you will depend on it. 👀
According to scientific studies, only seven seconds are enough to create a first impression on people, so you should consider some tips that will be useful and will allow you to be prepared to project your best version.
The first thing that will catch other people's attention will be how you look physically and depending on the type of appointment you are going to attend, choose your outfit. However, keep in mind clothing in neutral colors such as black, white, and beige; as they will bring more elegance to your style.
2) BE ON TIME!
Punctuality is a basic rule to make a good impact on others, so I recommend that you always arrive early, otherwise you will be negatively branded as unpunctual for a long time.
Your body language speaks a lot about you. And the most important thing is to make eye contact with the person you are dealing with. In this way, you will transmit confidence and security at the time of the conversation. But if you have a bad posture or a negative body position, you will make them doubt you and feel uncomfortable.
You must choose well the lexicon that you are going to use because depending on the occasion you can be more technical and professional or more colloquial and relaxed. And don’t forget to control your tone of voice.
Finally, be positive, be empathetic (that is, if you observe the situation from the point of view of others, you will be closer to know exactly how to act), be confident, and above all be yourself, do not appear to be who you are not, just relax and feature the best of you with a friendly smile.
I agree with you, because most of the time people claim about first impression. We know that it comes up not only in academic but also professional field. That is the reason why, we need to be careful anytime and anywhere. Finally, those tips are completely useful in order to take a look about this reality.
