First impressions are important especially in an interview situation. While most people are nervous, knowing specific tips can create a more comfortable atmosphere and help to present your "best side."

Distribute "Interviewing Tips" and discuss with students. Divide class into small groups. Ask half the groups to develop and practice a simulated interview demonstrating appropriate behaviors. Ask the other groups to develop and practice a simulated interview demonstrating all the wrong behaviors.

Videotape groups as they perform. Replay tape noting specific behaviors and the importance of positive first impressions.
