Job Interview Articles—First Impression<br />It is said that most employers know whether or not to offer someone a job within seconds of meeting them. This might seem ridiculous to some, but if you think about it all it is is a simple fact of human interaction: the first impression. There's a reason you don't walk into an interview in T-shirt and shorts; you want to make a good first impression. In taking the time to perfect your first impression for an interviewer, you could potentially seal a job offer within seconds. Now you might be asking, quot;
most people dress in suit and tie; how can I differentiate myself?quot;
 This is where perfection comes into play. In the following paragraph, I will show how perfecting every inch of your first impression can go a long way. <br />Walking into an interview, what's the first thing you see? The interviewer's face. And this is the first part of the first impression that needs perfecting. Interviewers like interviewees that are easy to look at. This means no facial hair, no mullets, and certainly no head accessories (sunglasses, headbands, earrings, etc.). Your face is the first thing interviewers notice about you so don't mess it up. Keep it clean.<br />Next is the suit. Make sure your knot doesn't look obnoxiously amateur. Look up ways to tie your tie online. Go with the windsor knot. Don't leave the blazer at home. You want the whole look of a professional so don't leave any of the essentials behind because you think its unnecessary. Make sure your belt color matches your shoe color and your pant color (suit color) matches your sock color. White socks don't even have a place in athletics in today's world so please leave them at home. Don't be too flashy; this is a job interview not the Oscar's. Know your place. <br />There you have it: the perfect first impression. You'd be surprised how many people mess this part of the interview up so quickly-so don't be quot;
many people.quot;
 Beat the crowd and you'll beat the interview.<br />
