NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! [/darth vader]
Funny, I've been thinking about this a lot recently. When I was a kid and I met me now brother-in-law for the first time, he gave me a hard time for giving him limp hand and dead-weight arm. From that day on, I have paid a lot of attention to my handshakes. I always always always have a firm grip and look the person in the eye. If I went to shake your hand and you gave me a limp one after giving some man a firm one, well... I would be displeased, to say the least. It's definitely a kind of thing that colors my opinion of a person. Re: a job interview - if you're really that worried about overdoing your squeeze, just make sure you smile and look her in the eye. That way, if it is a little too powerful, the person just thinks you are very enthusiastic and not pulling any power struggle crap.
