"First impression is the last impression", I have heard this line so much that I used to believe it. And lately I realized its not true. Not a bulb glowing realization but an experience makes you learn kind of realization.
One of the situation would be, not everyone that I was talking to on the first week of college is still in touch with me in the same way. Initially it was a crowd of new people slowly you get to know some of them, you start talking to many. The irony is a person having an awesome impression on you at first can later be discovered as a jerk.And similarly a person sounding rude at initial instance can actually be a shy person who takes time to open up.
So impressions are made as and when things happen, there is a possibility that a horrible impression once made leads to wrong and negativity in future but there are always another ways of influencing persons opinion.
A persons opinion is affected not only by first hand experience but also by someone else's influence. May be it is wrong to form/change an opinion on basis of a third persons eye but it does affects.
In an interview, people dress their best as well as present themselves perfectly but in the interviewer's head their is some predefined notion about the short listed candidates cause of his/her portfolio/resume. So its never just the first hand impression and definitely its never a last impression.
Be careful some words at times hurt by ruining life long good impressions!!!!
