Making a Great First Impression
You've heard the old cliche: "You never get a second chance to make a first impression."
That's a scary enough thought in your personal life, but in your professional life, it's downright terrifying. If you meet a stranger at a party and act like a goofball, it's usually pretty easy to shrug it off. You just move on to the next party-goer and hope you don't run into that person again.
But make a bad first impression with a potential employer, VIP clients, or new co-workers and it can send ripples of damage through your career. Kiss that job, that multi-million dollar deal, and any respect good-bye.
So how do you MAKE SURE that the first impression you make is a positive one?
