Five Practical Tips to Make a Great First Impression

Job interviews can be nerve-wracking—but they don’t have to be. Whether you’re applying for a short-term assignment or a long-term opportunity through Holden Temporaries, the right preparation can give you a serious edge. Here are five simple but powerful tips to help you make a strong impression and boost your confidence.

1. Dress for the job you want

Even if the position has a casual dress code, always show up in clean, professional clothing. Looking neat and put-together signals that you take the opportunity seriously.

2. Do a little homework

Spend a few minutes researching the company or reviewing the job description. A little preparation shows you’re interested and invested.

3. Practice makes prepared

Go over common interview questions like “Tell me about yourself” or “What are your strengths?” Practicing out loud helps you sound clear and confident.

4. Be early and ready

Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early. Bring any documents you might need, and silence your phone before you enter the building.

5. Say thank you

A simple thank-you note or follow-up message after the interview can leave a lasting impression. Gratitude never goes out of style.
