Learning a Good Handshake
Your handshake is an important part of making a first impression to the interviewer.
If your handshake is too soft, they will think you are not confident and that you may have trouble doing the job. If it is too hard, you will hurt the interviewer. Here are the steps involved in teaching a handshake:
- The skin between your thumb and first finger must touch the same place on the hand you are shaking. Clasp your fingers around the other hand firmly yet gently.
- Shake the hand up and down three times. If you have trouble with this, let the other person do the shaking – that’s OK too.
