Career Exploration
October 13, 2009/12:50 to 2:20
The workshop was about stressing the importance of first impressions and any impression a person may give to a possible boss. You must be on your toes with impressions because a person only has one first impression and simple bad habits like slouching or looking down can create a bad first impression.I selected this workshop because impressions is a very imporatant part of anyone’s career even though it may not seem so. Everyone gets judged and judges a person on thier first impression. It didnt take me out of my comfort zone because I’ve heard this at workshops I was involved with outside of school.The workshop met my expectations the speaker discussed basic impressions rule and then some. I woul recommend the workshop for anyone whose interested in building a good career. It kinda give you a little check or reminder to look out for during an interview or a jobfair or any networking activity.I learned that even the lady at the front desk can be an influence in a job prospect. A person’s vibe or personaility needs to exert in a positive way. A good first impression is when someone’s confident but not cocky.If the first impression goes wrong it would be vital to make sure the second impression goes well.
