How can you tell if your handshake has just the right amount of firmness before interviewing?
What should you do if the interviewers handshake is limp? Should I still pump a firm handshake?
Mod questions:
What if the person awkwardly keeps shaking your hand beyond the normal amount of time? Do you attempt to slip out of the handshake or keep on going and pretend you dont notice?
Speaking of, how many pumps is the ideal amount for a sufficient handshake?
Any awkward handshake stories?
However hard you shake your own hand. Ya know, when you're having some alone time with some tissues ready.
You need to pop his knuckles so he knows you're not screwing around.

Just make sure your hand is nice and sweaty first.
or just skip the handshake and do what this guy did:

that will leave quite an impression, I tell ya!
the handshake should only differ in firmness if the person is female, very young, old & decrepit, or an amputee. otherwise, this:
seriously guys? didn't your fathers teach you anything?
Actually, if you're shaking a woman's hand you should stare right at her chest, hold the hand for way too long and give her a finger tickle. Banker chicks dig that.
I'm a fan of the wink and lip lick too
street custom is to squeeze anywhere from 7.1 to 7.4 on the firm scale....newb...
rub and tug
I prefer the hand shake/slap. Go in for the shake & the give him a good smack on the hand then pull away quickly

Speaking, how many pumps is the ideal amount for a perfect handshake?
Just keep shaking hands until he pulls away. Clearly establishes your dominance before the interview even begins.
Hahaha. The alpha shake.
