hey everybody Don Georgevich here
job interview tools tell you a question
that I get all the time probably not a
day goes by where someone doesn't write
in and say Don Wendy shake hands in a
job interview I say well that's easy
when you walk in the front door and
you're greeted by the receptionist
obviously you don't shake that person's
hand but when the hiring manager comes
out to greet you you shake their hand
when they take you back into the
conference room where you're going to be
meeting with the other people that
you're going to be interviewing with you
reach out and you shake their hands now
here's where the problem comes in what
happens when the hiring manager walks
you back to the conference room where
you're introduced to maybe six ten or
even twelve people and they're all
sitting down at the table what are you
supposed to do do you walk around and do
you shake hands with every single person
absolutely not
my limit is probably three or four
people if there's any more than that I
won't shake hands with everybody on
unless unless the situation presents
itself but let's just say for the sake
of this video that everybody is sitting
down in a room and there's you know six
people six to twelve people it's just
too awkward to run around shake hands
with every single person what I like to
do is I like to do the group shake hands
and I kind of just say hello I'm Don you
know it's nice to meet all of you simple
as that that just covers an immediate 12
handshakes and one fell swoop so but if
it's just a couple of people one or two
obviously just reach out and shake hands
if you can't I mean I've seen some
conference tables that are just too big
to kind of reach over and shake hands
just give a little wave it's the same
thing it's the introduction that's the
most important thing and that's where
you just say hi you know my name is Don
I'm from Cleveland Ohio it's good to
meet you and you can say that with or
without shaking hands with someone all
right makes sense so when the hiring
manager comes out to greet you shake
their hand when they walk you back into
the conference room and there
one or two people in there she cans with
them if you can if you can't that's okay
just give them a wave if there's ten
twelve or you know six people whatever
in the room obviously it's too many then
you can just kind of look at everybody
kind of pan around the room and just say
hi I'm done from Cleveland Ohio it's
great to meet all of you and it's great
to be here
simple as that it's the introduction
that matters it's not the physical going
around and grabbing hands now on the
note of a handshake when you do shake
their hands reach out give them a firm
handshake women to give a firm handshake
nobody likes that soft squishy feeling
that they get when they squeeze
someone's hand and just kind of
collapsed they call that like the dead
fish now if you like me my hands always
get sweaty when I'm going in there and
I'm meeting people that I've never met
before my hand gets all sweaty and I
don't want to shake somebody's hand when
it's all sweaty so what I do is the
first thing when I get to a job
interview I go into the men's room and I
wash my hands with soap and water and I
try to get off any sweat that I can and
put some cold water on my hand to cool
at all then the next thing we'll do is
I'll carry a handkerchief in my pocket
and I normally carry it my left but I'll
put it in my right pocket because that's
the hand that I used to shake people's
hands with and I'll just keep my hand in
my pocket rub brushed up against a
cotton handkerchief and this will draw
the moisture I would have my hand so I
can just pull my hand out of my pocket
and shake someone's hand with a dry hand
and they don't get that wet clammy
feeling that but I would normally have
all over my hand and probably you too if
you're anything like me our nerves just
kind of get the best of us and you know
our hands sweat that's it's just called
being human
so I recommend shaking hands with
everybody men women doesn't matter now I
know I think I'm not sure maybe in some
countries that hand shaking is not not
proper business conduct so I don't know
about those countries but I do know that
any country any english-speaking
countries or anywhere in your
handshaking is totally fine all the time
I always recommend it it's just a way to
to build that extra bond build that
rapport with your interviewer and I
always try to look that person right in
the eye when I shake their hands and I
want because I want my nonverbal
expressions to connect with them as well
I want them to see my eyes I smile and
it just adds so many more layers to the
handshake and it just builds up so much
more rapport throughout the whole
interview process all right so go out
there shake hands with your interviewer
be proud smile make sure you smile make
sure you smile when you're shaking hands
it just says so much more than dawn
that's boring go out there and say hi
I'm down gorge [ __ ] it's great to meet
you or you know whatever your name is
don't say don't say Don George you're
rich

just start talking and blah you know
talking like crazy and interviewers
don't want to hear you talk for five
minutes
