You have to realize that thirty seconds is not that long at all. You also have to realize that within thirty seconds a person has already made a judgment about you. You may never be able to rise above the opinion that someone sets within these few seconds, but you will want to do everything you can to make a great first impression and deliver an intriguing speech. The key is to get the person to keep thinking and wanting more. You need to make the best first impression, but it can be very difficult.

The first thing that you will want to do is make a good impression. You will need to get rid of all your fears. Before you walk into the business or meeting room you need to get prepared. If you really want to know how to become prepared, you will first want to start out with some breathing exercises. Once you have calmed yourself down you will then need to gain some type of confidence. Even if you have to fake it at some point, once you get into the meeting your confidence will become real.

The second thing that you need to do is keep yourself from babbling. You should never ramble on to anyone. This makes a wrong impression, and you will also lose your audience very quickly. You need to learn how to control yourself and your words. Basically, you will want to write a little bit in order to make yourself stay on track.

Possibly even more stressful than the questions you are going to have to answer, you are going to have to find the perfect outfit to wear to a job interview. You want to look professional and like you are going to fit in with the company. A good rule of thumb for men is that you can’t overdress for the interview – shirt and tie or a suit is always a safe choice. For women, picking the clothes is more challenging.

For both men and women, pick an outfit that you feel comfortable in and that fits you properly. You don’t want pants that are too tight or a shirt that is too snug across the chest. It will be a distraction for both you and your interviewer. Along the same vein, pick colors that suit you but aren’t too bright or patterns that are overly bold. You want the focus to be on your answers, not what you are hearing.

Remember too that your overall appearance is going to be judged, and this includes more than the clothes you are wearing. Hygiene and grooming: be clean, neat and tidy. It is probably best not to wear a strong scent – chances are you will be in a small room and it could make others uncomfortable. Your finger nails should be short and clean, your hair clean and tidy, and have mints with you or brush your teeth immediately before leaving for the interview.

You may wonder what all of these details has to do with your qualifications and getting the job. It has to do a lot with it, especially if you are going to be dealing with the company’s customers face-to-face. The company will want to hire employees who are going to represent the company in the best possible light.
