Did you know it only takes seven seconds to make a first impression?
First impressions are important—they set the tone for the relationship, and they can make a difference in whether you land a job or not. What you wear, as well as your body language, tone, and mannerisms, all contribute to that first impression. Learn how to make every second count in a professional setting with PLT Canada’s First Impressions: Elevator Pitch and Dress for Success webinar.
This webinar is part of the PLT Canada Future-Workforce Ready Webinar Series—take a look at more upcoming events!
This Employment Ontario project is funded in part by the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario.

Professionalism tips for online events
PLT Canada’s skill-building webinars are a great place to practice your professionalism.
Professionalism includes “the way you carry yourself, your attitude and the ways you communicate with others.” How can you do this?
- Use professional, polite language: Avoid slang, swear words, and inappropriate terms
- Be punctual: Arrive to the webinar on time or a few minutes early to make a good impression
- Participate: Ask and answer questions, write in the chat, and use the time to make new connections and grow your network
Professional video call etiquette
If possible, turn your camera on for face-to-face interaction.
- Sit in front of a plain or clean background
- Move to a quiet area if possible
- Dress in work-appropriate clothes (a nice sweater, blouse, button up shirt, or collared shirt)
- Ensure your whole head is in the frame
