Image & First Impression

According to Psychologists, a long-lasting and comprehensive first impression is made within 7 to 30 seconds of

meeting someone. Worse yet, it takes them three times as long to change their minds about you. You can never recreate a First Impression.

We make a judgment about them and how we will interact based on their clothes, facial expressions, energy, confidence,personal power, perceived authority, posture, personal grooming, and most of all, by the way they treat us. Whether you are going on a job interview or meeting with a client, your first impression can literally make or break the deal. Regardless who you are - Your Appearance,Body language and Attitude always speak first!

What Is Image?

Image is the beliefs that we have about someone or something. It may be the impressions we form when meeting someone new,or it may be an individual's or company's reputation that has developed over time.

Statistics show that you have about 30 seconds to make a FIRST IMPRESSION which is based on Studies at UCLA have found that:

55% of first impressions are visual — Appearance
38% of first impressions are based on how we speak — tone of voice and mannerisms
7% of first impressions are based on what we actually say — our words

A survey created by Yankelovich Partners About Employers Opinion on appearance had these key findings:

95% of employers said a jobseekers personal appearance affected their opinion of the applicant's suitability for the job
91% said they believe dress and grooming reflected the applicant's attitude toward the company
67% said dress and grooming had an effect on subsequent promotions
84% believe a woman’s appearance affects whether she is asked to represent her company at outside meetings

Why Image Matters

Image matters because people often make assumptions based on limited information. When we observe a single physical characteristic or behavior in someone, we tend to assume that person has a number of other qualities, too.

It is a fact that what we hear from others affects our mental state about people and issues. This is called “Halo Effect” in Psychology.When your appearance is positive (clothes, hairstyle, the way you carry yourself, smile, and other non-verbal communication), they tend to assume that other aspects about you are equally positive.

Experts say that within the first 30 seconds of interaction, your appearance strongly influences other people's perception of your:

Financial success
Trustworthiness
Authority
Social status
Intelligence
Suitability of hire or promotion
Personality
