Interesting comment on limp handshakes


BETHLEHEM, PA - Can having a lousy handshake knock you out of the running for a job? Well, maybe, according to employers responding to Job Outlook 2001, an annual survey of employers' hiring intentions as they relate to new college graduates. The study is conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE).

Ironically, a candidate's handshake - which has no visual impact - came out higher on the influence scale than more in-your-face attributes such as body piercing, obvious tattoos, and unusual hair styles.
