PERFECT HANDSHAKE

PERFECT HANDSHAKE

Jobseekers take note!

According to Geoffery Battie, Head of Psychology Sciences, at University of Manchester, the formula for a perfect handshake is:

PH =

    ? ( e2+ve2 )( d2 ) + ( cg + dr ) 2 + ? { ( 4 less than s greater than 2 )( 4 less than p greater than 2 ) } 2    

    +(vi+t+te ) 2 + { ( 4 less than e greater than 2 ) ( 4 less than du greater than 2 ) } 2

He could have simply said:

• Recruiters just don’t like

• Sweaty palms

• Limp wrists

• Gripping too hard

• Lack of eye-contact

According to him, the perfect handshake formula ( before and after the interview ) for impressing HR Managers  comprises

·     Cool dry palms

·     Complete grip

·     Firm squeeze

·     Medium vigor

·     Right hand

·     No longer than 3 seconds

In these days of rampant unemployment and rare interview calls, jobseekers cannot afford to overlook any tip!

EQUALITY

EQUALITY

Unemployed Girls, Beware !

Here are some findings of Pew Research Center’s Global Attitude Project ( in association with the International Herald Tribune – July 2010 ) :

·             There is a pronounced gap between a belief in the equality of the sexes and how that translates into reality.

·             In China, India, Indonesia and Jordan, equal-rights supporters think, most of the adjustments necessary to establish equality have already been made.

·             In nations ( Europe / USA ) where equal rights are already mandated, women seem stymied by a lack of real progress.

·             More than 50% in 10 of 22 countries said that when jobs are scarce, they should go to men.

Surely they have not read the survey conducted by Psychology Professor Keith Laws ( University of Hertfordshire ), which found that  girls are better than boys when it comes to multi-tasking !

May be my 2 unemployed grand-daughters have still some hope !

HAPPY

16 July 2010

HAPPY

A British Survey of employed people (July 2010) found :

•  People earning  50,000  Pounds annually were “ happy “ with life overall

•  People earning  70,000  Pounds annually were “ less than happy “ with their lot !

Will someone survey and answer :

How happy is a person who has been unemployed / jobless for over 2 years and who suddenly gets a job–offer of  7,000 Pounds ?

With 70,000 pounds, can we make 10 jobseekers ecstatic ?

With 70,000 pounds, by how much can we raise the “ Sum-Total “ of happiness in the world ?

Ask unemployed.
