Firm Hand shake Helps land Jobs

Yes it does

 

As opposed to a flimsy clammy gayish hand shake? I would hope so.

 

Yes it does, though some people go a little overboard. I think there's a difference between a good firm handshake and thinking you should try to outsqueeze the other person. A couple of times I've found myself thinking I should be challenging them to an arm wrestling match or something.

 

That happens to me all the time.

I give a firm unflinching handshake and these goofballs all try to outsqueeze me...so I apply more pressure.....he then applies more pressure....it is ridiculous.

 

thats hawt.

After an interview I usually just slap the interviewer on the butt and tell him good game.

 

the up high, down low, too slow method hasn't landed me too many jobs...

 

I just have sex with the wife of the hiring manager.......then they know who is boss

 

Usually I put up my hand ready to high-five and reply "Who's stupid?" and simultaneously put my hand down... leaving him claiming his own stupidity. Maybe that's why I'm unemployed.

Okay... I really don't say who's stupid, I say something else... I just don't want to offend anyone like lucky.

 

Lucky's "job interview" is a guy in a pickup truck driving to home depot to see if anyone wants to paint a house for 60 bucks.......no hand shake involved

 

Is that why you're in radio?

 

So that was him who asked to come paint our barn two years ago?

 

yes that is how i get paid good amount of money to sit in a room and talk with sports journalists all day.....yes that is why i am in radio...thank god too, i wouldnt want some labor work

 

cant tell em apart to save my life

 

and asking everybody if they want to see his car...is just a little bit creepy.

 

agreed

 

I wish I had some killer shades like that guy.............
Or a car...................

 

Who wouldnt......

 

that guy kind of looks like the dude from capote.....

 

What about the firm hand jobs that help shake the land?

 

That is why your mom is nicknamed the "earthquake"

 

Zing.

 

That's because it is.

That is Phillip Seymore Hoffman's uncomfortably gay character in the movie Boogie Nights.

He asked Mark Walberg if he wanted to see his car....he then tried to make out with Waldberg.

 

Lol back the topic, I learned this in Computer College Career class a couple weeks ago.

 

Seems kind of silly to give the hand shake the credit. I'm sure it has to do with the type of person who gives a firm handshake vs a flimsy one. A person with confidence will give a firmer handshake, and probably perform better in an interview because of that confidence...

 

I believe it is just saying it helps....it shows confidence rather than speaking it....actions speak louder yadda yadda

 

Aw man, that'd be awesome!

I wish I could see the face of the hiring manager should someone ever actually do that.

 

i was shaking the hand of a customer today and he had the little limp/gay handshake. man that was awkward

 

you must've gave him the wrong impression

 

smartass

 

Or the right impression. Yo never know.

 

i guess is amateur comedy hour round' here

 

True.

Just don't overdo it; I once interviewed a guy who squeezed my hand so hard he actually hurt me...and I'm no delicate flower.

I just kept thinking, if I hire this guy he's going to be an insurance liability because of all the broken-hand lawsuits the company will have to settle!
