How To Shake Hands When A Recruiter Asks For A Handshake by nmreports: 6:51am On Jan 17, 2017 |
The world especially Africa is increasingly getting more organized, more receptive of the "right way" of doing things and while this may seem unimportant to us in this part of the world, they are the things that HR Administrators, business owners, professionals, investors look out for when meeting with you for the first time. They want to know if you are professional, strong, hospitable and you can be committed with some of their trust. Nothing is free so throw away the entitltlement mentality and get better. We must strive to continually improve as professionals and one of the ways to be recognized as one is when our actions convey the same. There are basically four types of handshakes: 1. The limp handshake: This is the one commonly used by females when you want to shake each other. It looks like an hesitant kind of handshake where only the tip of the four last fingers except the thumb are used. It says "Hey, I don't want to shake you, but have some of my fingers". You should by all means avoid this type of handshake. Curve your fingers like you want to pick something then excuse your thumb. That's what it looks like. 2. The hard-long handshake: The hard-long handshake is the type where you are trying to look and shake hands professionally but in the process miscalculated the time and you start to jerk the persons hand harder and longer than needed. It is not only annoying but it shows that you might be nervous or full of anxiety. NOTE: Shaking hands properly is one way to appear valuable in an interview? So read how to appear valuable to a recruiter here: http://www.hrtechnique.com/2016/12/how-to-appear-valuable-to-every-human.html 3. The pull-forward handshake: How many of us has seen Trump shake hands? No one would want to experience such because I myself imagine my arms flying off my body. We may want to excuse him because he is a billionaire and elected president of USA but trust me it's not right to shake hands that way. You stretch your hands to greet someone and the next he does is to pull you forward so strongly your entire body moves. 4. The firm handshake: The firm handshake is the one that only lasts for about 3 seconds. Where the bottom at the curve between your thumb and fore finger touches the other persons own, is strong enough to show anticipation and kindness and it lasts for about 3 seconds. Ensure that you look the person in the eye, have a welcoming countenance usually with a smile and shake firmly with your hands straight then withdraw.

We are getting inundated with all these 'recruiter wants this and don't want that'.. Its just a pity we didn't come when companies 'beg' graduates with jobs, we arrived a bit late. I wish I had schooled in the 60's. 19 Likes |
