If you think you don’t have the personality to give a good
first impression, you don’t have to drastically change who you are or force
yourself to be someone you’re not. You just need to follow these tips, and
you’re sure to leave a genuine first impression on interviewers for Tualatin jobs hiring.
Don’t speak first. To show that you are willing to
listen, you should allow the person interviewing you to speak first. Allowing
them to speak first shows that you understand your interviewer is your
superior. You won't look weak, but it makes you look aware of your situation.
Check your body language. You don’t want to come
across as uninterested or upset. You want to be friendly and approachable. Be
aware of your body language by making sure you’re keeping good posture and eye
contact with the other person.
Don’t pull out your phone. Looking at your phone is a
sure-fire way to get someone to stop talking to you. If you look at your phone,
you’re giving the other person a cue to stop the conversation because you’re
not listening anymore. If you want to leave a good first impression, keep your
attention on the other person and put your phone away.
Have some small talk. If the other person wants to
have small talk, don’t try to take control of the conversation. Keep up the
small talk because you want the person to give the cue when small talk is done.
If you cut to the chase, you’re showing that you don’t want to listen to the
other person.
Don’t listen to respond. Everyone wants to be heard
which makes it difficult to listen sometimes. When you find yourself wanting to
interject or talk while someone else is talking, check yourself. Make sure
you’re listening to understand the other person rather than to respond. If
everyone only listens to respond rather than to understand, no one will be
heard.
Don’t go in unprepared. Before meeting for an
interview, do your research on the company and see what the company’s mission
is. If you can learn what the company offers, that could help you in an
interview. Don’t rely on your skills and personality. Prepare yourself with
some simple research for your possible future employment
