First Impressions: Vital

Having an interview? Read on.

If you have ever had an interview in which you believed you performed well but still didn’t earn the job, you might be wondering why. However, you might not have set the best impression when you first walk into the room.

Research shows that we know who we’re going to hire within the first twenty seconds of meeting the person. Because of this, being correctly dressed is hugely important. If your dress style is the first thing that a potential employer sees, this is most likely going to be what they base their decision on. The greeting is important, too. It is amazing how many young people use the greeting “hi” when they walk into an interview. This is not formal, and will most likely not earn you a job. You are much more likely to gain a job if you say “hello” politely, and then shake the hand of your interviewer. This should be not too firm, but at the same time not too loose.

Once you’ve made your good impression, you should ensure that you answer the questions to the best of your ability. Although first impressions are incredibly important, it is still vital that you keep this impression constant throughout the interview and impress your employer.

Influencing people and affecting viewpoints

Influence in itself is nothing more than exertion of power to change the mindset and behavior of others. It is the power of persuasion, plain and simple. And in order to be better at influencing people, you need to be able to understand what makes people tick in the first place. If you are to influence the way people think, it is important that you have some kind of leverage and and understanding of their motivation is certainly one kind of leverage. But there is a very basic problem with that assumption; you won't get to know everyone you ever come across. There is a certain amount of time that is taken in understanding people's likes and dislikes and sometimes it's a luxury we can't afford.

Honda Chopper - the two wheeler from outer space


Although Star Wars movie is decades old, its impact on people and industry has not dimnished even today. Its impact and effect of technolgical innovations can be seen and felt around us. Recently the Honda Chopper looks like a machine rolled out of the Star Wars movie set.

This uniquely designed, utterly attractive and innovative machine has under its uber-cool skin three engines to give it thrust and power to reach to the outer space. The main biofuel engine assisted by the two smaller eclectirc engines, racked on each side of the wheels provide that extra thurst that any biker would like to have to race to speeds unknown before. s with a traditional chopper the suspension stretches out in front of the bike with the rider positioned three-quarters of the way back.
And what is more is its dual exhaust which are further split to give a look of quad after burners jutting out of the rear of the machine. With its long front suspension and feet forward seating position with a large foot print, the machine is purpose-built concept for those who dare to adventure.

So brace yourself for the Honda onslaught - lest you are overtaken by the cutting edge technology.
