007: You only have 20 seconds to make a great first impression

Research suggests that in the first 20 seconds of meeting your interviewer, they may have ALREADY made their mind up about your skill, ability and knowledge.

So how do you make sure that first impression is a great one?! It’s down to the little things.

In this episode we talk about all the things that can help shape that first impression in a face to face or video interview. We tackle the awkward covid handshake question, talk about why too early is just as bad as late, and even share a true story about how fidgeting can completely rule you out.
