Get a grip! Handshake, I mean.
If you’re interviewing for a job in medical sales, healthcare sales, imaging sales, pathology sales, pharmaceutical sales, clinical diagnostics sales, laboratory sales, cellular and molecular products sales, and biotechnology products sales, you need to pay attention to the first impression you give through your handshake.
According to one study, all other factors being equal, a firm handshake will give you the edge you need in getting the job. The Fine Art of the Handshake gives you several pointers to remember on grip strength, eye contact, where to stand, and what to say. But mostly, just remember to be firm, friendly, and confident.
