Making a Grand Debut and Leaving a Lasting Impression on the Interviewer

Your Grand Debut

Everything checks out? Okay, go ahead and make your entrance. Walk straight to the interviewer and offer your hand and a pleasant smile.

Grasp the other person’s hand completely, not just the fingers for one of those dead fish handshakes. If you are wearing a jacket (suit coat), unbutton it before sitting down, then ensure it hangs properly and is not bunched up and gaping open. (Practice by sitting down in front of a mirror. See how you appear from the other side of the desk.) Women should be extra careful about their skirts riding up, and men should be mindful of hairy ankles peeking out over the socks.
