Indeed, if you play our cards right, you can enjoy the benefits of what is called “halo(光环) effects”. This means that if you are viewed positively within the critical first four minutes, the person you have met will likely assume everything you do is positive. Four minutes! Studies tell us that is the critical period in which impressions are formed by someone weve just met. People tend to focus on what they see (dress, eye contact, movement), on what they hear (how fast or slowly we talk, our voice, tone and volume), and on our actual words. Most employers believe that those who look as if they care about themselves are more likely to care about their jobs. We know “Its whats inside that counts,” but research shows that physically attractive people are generally perceived by employers as more intelligent, likable and believable. Heres how to make those critical four minutes count: First, look your best. It signals success. Studies have linked clothing consciousness to high self-respect and job satisfaction. Second, monitor your body language. How you move and gesture will greatly influence an interviewers first impression of you. Third, say what you mean. Your goal is to show confidence and be believed. Hold that favorable first impression by making your words consistent with your body language and appearance. Finally, there is a matter of how you speak. Any professional voice coach will tell you that you can learn to sound more relaxed, more assertive(坚定的) and more confident. 3. If you want to benefit from the so-called “halo-effect”, you have to learn how to _. (A) create a favorable impression(B) act as if you were playing cards (C) dress(D) talk4.
