Handshake 101 Tips to make that great first impression
Correct Form • Thumbs should interlock – web of hand between thumb and forefinger should make contact with the other person’s web and thumb. • A misplaced handshake can be awkward.
Correct pressure • A firm handshake • Not a “bone crusher” • Not a limp grip
Eye Contact • Make eye contact with the person with whom you are greeting
Smile • Be pleasant • Project good energy
Length of Contact • Handshake should be two to three hand pumps/shakes. • An overly long hand shake can become awkward and send the wrong message.
