Notes on Image
 I
suspect that everyone reading this section is aware that – to some degree –
the image that you present, the impact that you make, may affect the outcome
of any interview. But do you realise just how much? The following two facts
come out of a number of different research studies:
Firstly, 90% of the judgement that we
form of another person is created within the first 4 minutes of meeting them
(and based, believe it or not, on 400 different signals). Secondly, that
opinion of the other person is based only 6% on what they say, 30% on how
they say it, and 64% on how they look. So however well you answer all the
interviewer’s questions, if your appearance and body language – particularly
in the first few minutes – do not create the right impression you may well
fail.
