First impressions count The hard truth is that job interviewers can usually tell if you are an ideal candidate for the job within the first few seconds of meeting you. You have to put your best foot forward and present yourself in the best light you can. That means your personal appearance, outfit, facial expressions and body language. You want to be confident, not cocky, give a firm handshake, make eye contact, and show your enthusiasm for the opportunity.
