It takes just a quick glance, maybe three seconds, for someone to

evaluate you when you meet for the first time. A first impression can

useful recommendations to help you make positive first impressions.
Be yourself — If you’re feeling uncomfortable and on edge, this can

make the other person feel ill at ease as well, and that's a sure way to
create the wrong impression. Learn to make yourself relax when
meeting someone for the first time.
Present yourself appropriately — When you meet a person for the

first time, you will be judged initially based on your appearance.
Therefore, you should make an effort to look clean and presentable.
Smile! — There's nothing like a smile to create a good first

impression. Just don't go overboard with this, or you’ll risk appearing
insincere and smarmy.
