First Impressions

by Andrea

There are three major things to do when entering the interview room and first meeting a human resources person:

Present yourself by visibly stating your name.

• Make undeviating eye contact with the interviewer.
• Give a rigid handshake. A trick to avoid getting sweaty palms is to bring a tissue in your pocket to dry your hand right before the handshake.

Before moving on, there are inherent signs interviewers are trained to look out for during an interview session. Interviewers are usually trained observers of the slightest details, which can say more than what is truly said by the applicant.
