Kako narediti najboljši prvi vtis?/How to make the best first impression?

 "You never get a second chance to make a first impression."

Ste vedeli, da je prvi vtis najpomembnejši, ker ga nikoli ne morete ponoviti? Kar 93% prvega vtisa je sestavljenega iz neverbalne komunikacije (deloma iz zvena in tona glasu, deloma iz govorice telesa, drže in naše zunanjosti) - to pomeni, da ob prvem stiku z nekom, ki ga ne poznamo, naše besede zavzemajo le borih 7% celotnega vtisa! Vse ostalo je torej vizualna zaznava. Po domače povedano: sogovornik, ki nas prvič vidi, nas dodobra 'prečekira' že ob vstopu v prostor in/ali stisku roke (ta naj bo ravno prav močan) ter si o nas ustvari vtis, še preden pravzaprav sploh odpremo usta.

Če torej ob prvem srečanju z nadrejenim, podrejenim, novim poslovnim partnerjem, novo stranko, ..., poskrbimo za pravi vizualni vtis, smo naredili ogromno! In obratno – že majhne malenkosti lahko uničijo sicer skrbno pripravljeno predstavitev ali nastop. Še več, včasih odločajo tudi o tako pomembni stvari, kot je, ali bomo dobili službo ali ne ...
Zato nekaj nasvetov, kaj ja in kaj ne, če želimo narediti dober prvi vtis v naslednjih situacijah: razgovor za službo, prvi dan v službi, predstavitev projekta pred novimi partnerji in strankami, javni nastop (pred večjim številom ljudi), spoznavanje novih potencialnih strank, srečanje novega nadrejenega in podobno.

1. Poskrbimo za
brezhibno stanje oblačil – oblačila naj bodo čista, zlikana, brez vonja, brez potrganih nitk ali odpadlih gumbov, čevlji naj bodo očiščeni.

2. Izberimo kombinacijo oblačil, ki nam maksimalno pristaja tako po barvi kot po modelu.
3. Izberimo oblačila, v katerih se dobro počutimo, ker se nelagodje opazi!
4. Izberimo oblačila in dodatke, ki so primerni priložnosti in/ali delovnemu mestu. Če smo v dvomih, se raje uredimo malce bolj kot premalo in raje bolj formalno kot preveč sproščeno.
5. Ne preizkušajmo novih kombinacij oziroma kombinacij, ki so zelo drugačne od našega siceršnjega stila, to rezervirajmo za sproščene popoldanske ali večerne prilike. Enako velja za novosti na področju makeupa, tudi to naj bo rezervirano za druge prilike.
6. Tik pred samim dogodkom preverimo očitne stvari, kot so: da nimamo strganih hlačnih nogavic, da nam srajca ne štrli izza pasu hlač, da imamo kravato poravnano, da nimamo hrane med zobmi ali šminke na zobeh, ...

"You never get a second chance to make a first impression."

Did you know that first impression is the most important because you can never repeat it? A whopping 93% of our first impression in taken by non-verbal communication, partly from body language, the tone of voice etc, and the other part of our appearance. This means that our words only sum up to 7% when meeting someone for the first time! To translate: the person we're meeting for the first time actually 'checks us out' head to toe in the first couple of seconds of our meeting, before we even open our mouth to greet him/her and introduce ourselves.

Therefore, if we make sure the first impression we make on our business meeting, conference, exam, job interview etc, is the right one, we have done quite a lot to make things successful. On the other hand, one doesn't need much to interrupt good first impression as there are small details that can make or break the look.
For the important occassions such as job interview, first day at a new job, meeting your boss for the first time, giving speech in front of a (big or small) crowd, presentation at a conference, meeting new bussiness partners or new clients ..., here are DO'S and DONT'S:
1. Make sure your clothes are in immaculate condition: clean, ironed, without smell. Take care of stray buttons and any torn threads and clean your shoes.
2. Choose an outfit that is a really flattering colour and cut for you.
3. Choose an outfit that makes you feel good because people notice when you're not comfortable!
4. Choose clothes that are suitable for the occasion and/or your workplace. When in doubt, it is better to be overdressed than underdressed, better to be more formal rather than not formal enough.
5. Do not try new outfit combinations or new style for such occasions. Try new things when going out in the afternoon or for a date night. The same applies to makeup and hair.

6. Right before the important moment, check the most obvious and make sure that: you don't have a hole in your pantyhose, your shirt is tucked into your trousers, your tie is straight, there is no food between your teeth or lipstick on your teeth etc.
