TITLE - Brand You: First Impressions
I agree that first impressions are very important, especially in the business world. Interviews are important because that is the only chance you will get to make a good first impression. When a customer walks into your business, their first impression of your company will be the lasting impression. I think this speaker was very dramatic when he said the first 7 seconds will give someone a quantifiable impression of that person. Sometimes nerves or anxiety can get the best of people. I think it takes at least a few minutes to gain a true impression of someone. I think the key to giving a good first impression is to BE YOURSELF.

Brand You: First Impressions
First impressions are an essential part of the working world. These first impressions can show you who someone is. However, I do not believe that the first seven seconds shows a true judgement on who someone is. There are many individuals who take some time to warm up to others and their first seven seconds do not show one thing about the person that they are. I believe that first impressions are just that, an impression. To really know who someone is, sit down with them. Have an informal conversation where they feel comfortable. They will show their true colors and from there you can make a judgement on the type of person they are.

Brand You: First Impressions
First impressions are always important in any scenario. People are always judging. The video suggest that you have 7 seconds to make your first impression. I think you should be prepared whenever you make your impression, wether is for work or school, or just meeting key people. You should show people who you are and not just let them judge you. Give them a good first impression, and you are likely going to be remembered by the person you just met and this is very important for business networking!

You have one opportunity to make a impression to a person immediately before you say a word a person has already made assumption of who they think you are, not only should you always be at your best behavior but you must be respectful to those you meet simply because you never know who those people may be. When in the public's eye you must carry yourself how you would like someone to perceive you.

TITLE - Brand You: First Impressions
I agree with this video because first impressions mean a lot to people. Everyone tries to say they aren't judgmental and we don't judge people and different things, but reality is EVERYBODY DOES! In some sort of way, everyone judges people or other things. The first impressions are very important especially when trying to find a job or anything in that nature. If making a bad impression on someone it could take months to finally get over that first bad impression because it is almost imprinted on you after that moment. This is funny because my mom always tells me to never go out of the house looking like a bum. Of course, being a college student I am always leaving the house looking like a bum. But my mother always tells me that because she says you never know who you might meet, and you laugh about it but it is very true. Even though I still do it from time to time haha.

Topic- First impressions
I agree with this video that you do make a subtle determination about someone within the first few seconds you meet them, so it is important to always carry yourself in the best manner possible. You want to have a good attitude, a welcoming facial expression, and and good vibe about you. You should also be aware of your body language and your physical appearance.

First impression of this video in seven seconds, I was going to learn about a guy who worked for president Reagan. In seven seconds you cannot learn or understand about a person and how they operate. I understand that this person was successful but I cannot imagine that seven seconds makes or breaks my career no matter what it is. I looked up a spoof video while working on my top ten project, it was about a man going in for an interview. The person doing the interview was using unorthodox ways of screening a perhaps future worker. He would ask a question then count backwards from ten. He did this often and for every question. Ultimately, I humbly disagree with the notion that I have seven seconds to have the opportunity to impress someone so I can work there. He doesn't even give us a basis on what to run off of, he says have energy and presentable. Thanks for that. Yes, I think it is important to make a good first impression, I am not disputing that, however, a first impression is not the grand total of seven seconds.

First impressions are super important. Make sure that when you have a meeting with someone for the first time that you make a good first impression, for you can only do this once. Be aware of your facial expressions and all that happens around you, how you dress and those few things can make all the difference on how someone views you after that first meeting.

First impressions are important in any and all situations in life. People often based their judgments off their first encounter with you. whether good or bad, first impressions can set the groundwork for future relationships. So its in your best interest to put your best foot forward at all times because you never know who's watching you walk.

This video is about first impressions. The main point is that you have 7 seconds to make a good first impression. It is important to amp up your attitude. What is meant by this is being enthusiastic. You want the person to believe that your excited that you are meeting them for the first time. This type of positive energy will make them want to see you again.

I would definitely share this video with friends and colleagues. Thank you professor! I think that !st impressions are so important. In life you have one time to make an impression on people no matter in what form or fashion. I cannot belive it takes 7 seconds to make an impression in order to convince or influence someone. The impressions you make on people is very important because in life all we have is impressions you leave in this ifetime.

I agree that first impressions are definitely important, but I don't think that they are necessarily "life or death" as Tom put it in this video. We should always strive to make a great first impression. However I have had several instances where a person has given me a bad first impression only to eventually become a close friend or colleague. So therefore I would say that a first impression is definitely not life or death.

I agree how first impressions in conversation categorize what a person will think of you and how they will act towards you. For example, if you are viewed as acting subdued people will be willing to talk to you less than if you were charismatic. The video explains how amping up your attitude is one solution to good first impressions. While the point and solution are valid, I hope the seven second rule is somewhat exaggerated. If not then there is more pressure involved in first impressions than what I otherwise considered. I always try to give people generous time in a conversation as some people take a while to warm up to others. Disregarding a person in the first seven seconds means disregarding possible and important information. I would like to believe I give people at least the first five minutes to say something of interest!

TITLE- Brand You: First Impressions
In business, first impressions are extremely important. The ability to make powerful first impressions can be very valuable for managers especially from the perception of customers. How managers are perceived by their customer influences not only the interaction but also the impression of the business. Bad first impressions also has the potential to completely discourage the customer or employee, therefore, understanding the importance of this is vital to being a successful business manager.

This guy is really growing on me. I feel like he should be a political news caster. But as for the video it is common knowledge that our first impressions are solidified in the first seven seconds. You have to put your best face forward all the time and always show people your best energy.
