  • @TheHooters21 OMG! mine get so bad!

  • @krisnkris But don't stare! O'Boy, interviews...LoL I have one friday.

  • My handshakes are very "Dinky"... lol I always try to match the grip of the other person. If its weak, I stay more limp/weak, but once a guy tried to break my hand and I couldn't match his grip LOL

  • Pump

  • acid

  • @eyeofanangelful Not nessassarily rude....you just won't get the job!

    As a supervisor, I won't hire anyone who won't shake my hand at the interview, espeically when I offer it. It means you're either: A. Completely arrogant, or B. Completely paranoid of getting diseases. In the western business world, we shake hands -Period.

  • do we really need to do the handshake to interviewer before and after leaving ? for my own opinion i`m against into this coz interviewer encounter a lot of applicants each day ,,they receiving almost 100 or more applicants in call centers im just aware in viruses that can cause cough, soreeye ,etc , for me a nice greetings and a sweet smile is ok.... i hope i am not rude for not doin a handshake .

  • @udontknoume same here. :( anyway to prevent sweaty hands??
