first impressions

•	Firm Hand Shake (not too vigorous!)
•	Smile!
•	Eye Contact.
•	Arrive around 5-10 minutes early - allow yourself plenty of time.
•	Create a good impression with the receptionist - they are sometimes called on for feedback.
•	If you are asked to complete the company application form do not appear irritated and write ‘see CV’ on sections. Instead provide a brief summary.
•	Remain calm and confident if kept waiting, there is likely to be a very good reason.
•	Most of all, relax and try not to worry.
