Shake that hand

Many of you might think that handshakes are outdated.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.
