Hug Interviewer

I have a NYC interview for Goldman Sachs. In my culture we do a deep embrace of someone when first meeting them. Around ten seconds. Can I hug my Goldman Sachs interviewer instead of handshake? I am from Western Europe and this is a practice in my local area. I'm not from the Middle East.

At Goldman Sachs the proper way to greet someone is to get on your knees, open your mouth, and close your eyes.

Have fun! Should land you the job!
