'First impressions count' in a job interview
People preparing for a sales recruitment interview have been told that first impressions really do count.
Jenny Ungless, director of City Life Coaching, told the Times that if the first impression that a person makes is not a good one, then they will have to work extra hard in the interview to claw back the ground which has been lost.
She advised people looking for employment, including sales recruitment opportunities, that they should dress appropriately, be friendly and remember that they are on display from the moment they arrive for the interview.
"As well as researching the specific company or organisation that's interviewing you, make sure you understand the industry sector they work in, who their competitors are, and what the biggest challenges facing them are likely to be," she told the source.
Earlier this month, a spokesperson for Jobsite told recruitment hopefuls that they must learn how to sell themselves if they are to be successful in an interview.
