Remember to keep in your mind that an impressive alone is not enough to fetch you job. It can get you interview but not the position. Have in your mind that employees hire the people and not your qualification. Even though you may be a noble award-winning candidate, you may not receive your job if your hiring manager responds negatively to your physical representation. No matter how good your qualification is, you will not get the job if you a very strong personal fit to your company and to your future boss.

It has been reported that most of the employers will make their hiring decision within the first few minutes of meeting you. According to recent statistical report, it states that it takes only 20 seconds for the employer to judge about you. Your charisma plays an important role during your job interview.

As far as possible try to create a good first impression upon the interviewer. Try to ensure that you make a strong personal connection with the interviewer immediately and convey him that you are a trustworthy team player who can fit well with the department to promote the company. This is not a very difficult task during your initial interaction. As soon as you enter the interview room have a sincere and pleasant smile, give him a firm and dry handshake. During the interview simply look into the eye of the interviewer. When he smiles in return, it means that you are successful in establishing contact with the interviewer. To follow proper interview decorum, don’t sit before him until you are asked to do.

If you are successful in making a good first impression with the interviewer, then he is likely to forgive you for the silly mistake or the jumbled answer you give to him because of the gut feeling he have in you. Also make sure that you sends out correct non verbal signal to the interviewer throughout the course of the interview to assure him that you are important and valuable to the employer.
