Shake hands
Amanda Augustine, career advice expert for TopResume, says you should always start an interview by shaking hands with your interviewer. You are far more likely to be remembered if you do, and your interviewer will react by being friendlier and more open, she says.
"A firm handshake can help you demonstrate confidence, create a bond, and become more memorable to your interviewer — all in less than three seconds," Augustine tells Business Insider.
Not only does etiquette and civility expert Rosalinda Oropeza Randall also recommend mastering your handshake, but she says it's also a good idea to learn how to graciously handle an inexperienced hand-shaker, being shunned, or awkward handshakes.
