there are a lot of aspects crucial to a successful
interview
, but I believe that a positive
first
impression
is the most important one.
For instance
, a good CV is a crucial factor in getting into a
job
interview
, but it only helps you that far. After you get your chance to speak with an interviewer, you are on your own. Your social skills, your charisma, the way you present your assets, are the things that your future employer takes in mind while in a
job
interview
.
Secondly
, if you were lacking some skills useful to the
job
, you could present yourself in a way

if the
job
requires you to take surveys from people, and yet you have never done that, presenting your social skills and ease with talking to people might resolve the problem.
Although
a good

is very important, it does not secure you a successful

interview
. When applying for a
job
we must be capable of doing it. If we lack basic required skills, even the most attractive
first
impression
we are able to make, will not guarantee us a
job
.
Furthermore
,
first
impressions are very subjective
therefore
we are not quite able to prepare ourselves for every possible outcome of a conversation. In conclusion, I believe that
first
impressions are extremely important, and are definitely a good way of securing yourself a
job
.

they are just assets to our whole personal image, extremely important ones, but not quite absolute and not decisive when served on their own.
