First Impressions

[Randy]

Some say that first impressions are everything.

Do you think first impressions really make any difference?

Yup. People will subconsciously judge you the moment they see you.

I don't.



Anyway, 1st impressions are only important for a job interview. A bad 1st impression could make or break the chances of you getting a job (Could apply to other situations where people have to make a snap decision.. like getting accepted to universities and whatnot).



As far as any other situations, it doesn't really matter. People will have time to form an opinion of you based on their experiences with you over time.

I don't. [/quote]I said subconsciously - you do, but you just don't realise it.

Those opinions that form actually just change from your initial opinion.

Nope. My mind is blank when I meet people except for thinking up responses to whatever it is we are talking about.

Not really, I dont form an opinion of someone until Ive gotten to know them.

Not to me they don't. People who judge a book by it's cover could be missing out on a really good book.

I believe that a first impression can be a long lasting impression.

In society first impressions can mean a lot. Good looking people usually get paid better for example. But it's not necessarily always a bad thing, you can't take the time to get to know everyone.

Tell that to my ugly boss who makes more than everyone else.
