Listen carefully...
You will face two alternatives in life that will capture your attention: Situations and Solutions.
Whichever one you choose to engage, will determine your best results.
- SITUATIONS:
Don't allow common circumstances or situations to damage your endeavors in life, nor push you towards defeat.
- SOLUTIONS:
"Keep driving forward full steam ahead, especially if you're on a new track in life. Eventually, your circumstances or situations will yield to your tenacity and bring forth a measure of success." ~Edward Alexander

Have you ever heard that a picture speaks a thousand words? Well, a handshake does the same thing. It’s very important to ensure YOURS sends the right message during an interview!
Tips
• Don’t offer a handshake if the other person is engrossed in conversation with someone else. Just wait for them to finish and then approach them.
• Do audibly greet the person first to get their attention and then offer your hand.
• Don’t approach someone from their side with your extended hand. It’s hard to see you!
• Do smile and maintain good eye contact while telling them it is nice to meet them.
• Handshakes involve timing. If you’re not sure if someone will notice your offer for a handshake, extend it anyway. Most of the time people will respond by quickly grasping your hand.
Avoid these
Limp and lifeless You want to shake the employer's hand in a firm manner. Having a limp handshake could imply to employers that you are not a strong person and lack confidence.
Clingy Count to two or three max when you shake the employer’s hand. If it’s longer than that you might appear desperate or just odd if you hold on too long.
Crushing You might be incredibly strong which is great, but now is NOT the time to prove it. Remember firm is perfect, but you also don’t hurt the other person’s hand. This could come across as dominating and overly aggressive.
Sweaty If you become overly nervous or maybe your hands just happen to sweat, that’s ok. Don’t let the employer notice your nerves and simply wipe them nonchalantly on your jacket or pants before extending your hand.
Do YOU have any tips for the best way to shake an employer's hand?
