Shake that hand
Posted by Administrator on Jul 10, 2009
Many of you might think that handshakes are outdated. Think again. This simple gesture is still valued in the professional setting. This also includes job interviews. A handshake alone can state a lot about a person.
For example, someone with a weak handshake can be taken as one who lacks confidence. On the other hand (pun intended), a strong handshake can say that you pose as a threat. The key is to make your grip firm and brief. Smile. But don�t make it a teeth-baring grin. Most importantly, don�t forget eye contact. Just don�t make it too intense or you�ll come off as intimidating. Just do everything in moderation and you�ll be fine.
