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!
