Discuss how a person can make a positive first impression at a job interview. There are many possible ways to make a positive first impression at a job interview, or to commit interview suicide. I will stick to the points that I try to carefully follow during a job interview, as I succeeded sometimes. First of all the job candidate needs to project a good image of himself, not being late is a must, as well as being well-dressed, wearing a suit or a tie, being shaved or having had the hair cut recently. Secondly the applicant needs to have clear ideas, to state what's distinctive or particular of him, why is he or she supposed to be the best possible choice for the employer, what would make hiring him or her a real benefit for the company. He needs to explain the reason why he wants to work for a company in particular, and why he is leaving the actual job: not mentioning having problems with the boss or working overtime is a must. Even if companies don't like yes men sometimes, the job candidate needs to be aware that yes is a better answer than no during a job interview. Furthermore, the person who is interviewd needs to be concerned with learning new skills, or perfect the ones he or she already has, more than being only interested in money; people work five days or fourty hours a week and definitely need to be keen on what they are doing. Eveybody needs to live his or her work as the best possible, any achievement needs to be a priority, bearing in mind what is the ultimate stage, job satisfaction both for the employer and the employess. Not having strings attached, wives or children may sometimes be a plus, even if many employers are changing their minds, and wouldn't see having a family as a threat to productivity or employer's committment to their duties. Last but not least the job applicant needs to be self-conscient and self confident, but needs to avoid being big-headed at the same time: that will give employers the definite perception that the applicant is a good team player or a possible team leader, and that's what a good working environment is about, team-playing.
