A.It may seem strange that it should be like this but when you have an interview, your education, knowledge and experience may be less important than the impression you make on the people interviewing you. Experts say that it doesn’t take long to create a really good or bad impression, some estimate it’s a few seconds. Many employers check perspective employees for what they call professionalism: this often includes appearance - so make sure you have washed your hair, cleaned your shoes and are wearing the right sort of clothes.

B.Remember the interviewers must have liked your application, so you only have to live up to their expectations! Before you go into the interview room, take a deep breath. If you think about something nice that brings you a feeling of happiness then you will smile, and give an impression of confidence. Make sure that you take all the right papers with you - if you forget something, you could look unprofessional. If they ask why you left your last job, don’t give a long explanation.

C.When the interview is over, remember that people from the company may still be assessing you even after you have left the interview room. So don’t forget to say goodbye to the receptionist or anyone else you spoke to when you arrived. The people of the company may watch how you behave and communicate as you can become the member of the staff. Ignoring someone might cost you the job you have tried so hard to get.

D.The colours you choose to wear may also contribute to the overall impression you make. Colour analysts tell us that people wearing red clothes are showing that they have confidence while wearing yellow shows openness. If you choose to wear green, this tells people you’re compassionate, while the colour orange conveys happiness. However, you might not want to go along to a job interview dressed in all the bright colours, and you will probably choose something more neutral: such as brown, grey, and black.

E.Try to move in certain way at an interview - how you move your body or how you sit can indicate what kind of person you are - for example, a certain attitude can make you appear to be shy, or conversely, dependable and honest. It is important to avoid any kind of defensive movements, because doing things like not making eye-contact, or crossing your arms, can seem to be very negative. There are other things that can give bad impression too, such as turning your body away from the person you’re talking to, or constantly touching your clothing or jewellery.

F.Do you know what 80-90 per cent of candidates never remember to do when they go into the interview room? The answer is smile! So make you eye-contact with the person you’re going to talk to and smile as soon as you enter the room but follow the interviewer’s lead on whether or not to shake hands. Wait to be told where to sit and do not use first names unless the interviewer expects you to.

G.First impressions are vital. For many employers, neat and tidy hair and smart clothes are as important as qualifications. What factors contribute to that vital first impression? It varies a lot according to our culture. For example, in the United States tall people are considered more reliable and serious in business. In many cultures physically attractive people are thought of as warmer, kinder, more sociable and even more intelligent.
