FAT. The word alone is enough to send most people running for the hills. But contrary to popular belief, fat is actually good for you.

As soon as you meet, or even see, a person, you form an impression of them based on their posture, gestures and facial expressions. We all do it, sometimes without even realizing it. This is why it is important to make a good first impression on the person who will be interviewing you. Within the first 60 seconds of meeting ...
