Lesson Plan

First Impressions Blueprint

Students will identify and practice the key components of a positive interview introduction—greeting, name, background, and personal pitch—and craft their own confident self‐introductions.

First impressions shape others’ views and pave the way for future opportunities. Mastering a clear, memorable introduction builds communication skills and self‐assurance essential for interviews and networking.
