If you are paranoid about what kind of impression you  make, run through these seven list items and see if you are consistent  with them; if you are, then you will probably expose the best of  yourself. If not, then work to meet these standards.Dress: The absolute first impression you will  make on someone will be through your clothing, because that is what is  seen from a distance, and cannot change throughout your meeting. Make  sure to dress according to the situation-don't over or under dress-and  maintain within the limits of good taste. If you aren't sure if what  you're wearing looks good, ask people for an honest opinion. One last  thought: always, and I mean always, pull up your pants.  Hygiene:  Take a shower! Shave! Brush your teeth! You must be fully bathed and  groomed before you meet with someone for the first time, because scruffy  looking people generally don't seem as neat and mature. Pay attention  to the little elements like breath: keep a pack of mint gum with you  wherever you go, and periodically check to make sure you aren't killing  bugs every time you breathe out. If you sweat heavily, keep a small  stick of deodorant/anti-perspirant close, and if you notice you're  stinking you can freshen up. People notice the minutiae!Manners: At the table and with other people be civilized, polite and respectful:  keep your elbows off of the table, open doors for people and address  everyone-initially, at least-by their formal title. This will make an  especially good impression on senior citizens, because you will prove  that you aren't one of those "new fangled punks."  Speech:  Have clean, clear diction and speak sans "like" or "you know." It is  important to be articulate because that inspires a feeling of  intelligence and education in the person you are meeting with. Always  leave out profanity, and whatever you do, make sure to speak loud enough  for all to hear, because conversationalists are easily agitated if you  force them say "excuse me?" more than a few times.  Discretion:  Choose what to share about yourself: forget to tell everyone about that  time you went camping and ruptured your appendix, then fell face first  into a pile of bug infested leaves-it is rude and will alienate you from  the group. Try to withhold from conversations on personal subjects like  religion or more disgusting topics like personal medical care. Before  you speak, think about the possible impact of what you might say, then  imagine its implications in the long run.Humor:  Humor can be your most powerful tool or your doom, because everyone has  a slightly different sense of humor. What might be hilarious to you  might seem disgusting to another, or vice versa. Try to withhold from  any jokes that aren't family or dinner table friendly; you can tell  those later. Start and End with a Bang: I am a classical musician, and in my orchestra, among other messages,  the conductor tells us that the "audience remembers mostly the first and  last notes of a symphony." This is the same in a personal encounter:  whoever you are meeting with will remember how you greet them, and then  in what manner you left them. If you feel you have trouble with this,  practice a few different phrases in the mirror, and introduce elements  like: "pleased to meet you," or "honored to make your acquaintance."  Ignore the antiquity of these phrases; it often makes them more  memorable. Making a good impression will set any relationship off on a good foot.  If you are in a situation where you need to be judged at face value-such  as a job interview or date-then make sure to go through this list and  make sure you are within bounds of reason and good taste on all of your  decisions.</blockquote>
