In today’s professional world, first impressions are formed in as little as 3 to 7 seconds. Before a word is spoken, decisions about confidence, professionalism, credibility, and fit are already being made. These split-second judgments occur during resumes, interviews, networking conversations, virtual meetings, and everyday workplace interactions. Once established, first impressions can be difficult to change.
