For those who have to rip on this article just to feel better about yourselves, well, don’t be dicks, be men!

There are many, many great comments here about interviewing and conversational etiquette. However the article is about FIRST impressions. People as a whole, base these first impressions with their senses, sight, hearing, touch, smell. We are engaged, many times, by what we first see or hear, not by the experience of what comes after. Your FIRST impression is the way you have dressed, your confident and sincere smile as well as your handshake, and clear speaking all add to your first impression. From that FIRST impression, the person is then engaged from there on, You can be properly dressed, look confident and give a great smile and handshake, but if you forgot to brush your teeth and breathe your dragon breath as you speak, your FIRST impression is going to make the person reluctant to engage in conversation with you. And if you tried to cover it up with cologne, and you are trying to impress the person by using their name 50 times, and you ask them 10 questions about their interests…can you see how your FIRST impression tainted the rest of the experience?

Remember… first is FIRST. (Yes- I am being captain obvious).

The handshake is very important in making a first impression. Firm, not trying to squeeze their bones together. Always look a man directly in the eye during a handshake, as this shows proper respect and shows you’re serious. This article is very informative to those who are lost, or for those of us who had to learn how to be a man on our own.

These are very good tips to be used in everyday conversations… I do get introduced to multiple people, I admit, I am not the greatest at first impressions unless I am at a dinner party and dressed up… But I did notice your symbols for apostrophes are a bit incorrect, as they are not even apostrophes… Thank you for the tips…
