You're applying for a new job...

And after the interview is over, a key thing for before the interview and afterwards is a good handshake, right? What happens if I have 'too firm' of a handshake?

...i don't think the handshake will be a dealbreaker

They've formed an opinion of you long before the final handshake.

What if the interviewer had handled ass pennies at some point during the day, then didn't wash their hands? Hmmm?

Fine, what about the initial handshake? If I crush their hand, will I not get the job?

Then I'd have ass penny residue on my hands, your point?

Please shake with a normal amount of pressure. There is no need to "outgrip" the interviewer.

The guy who bought my old car had a handshake that would crush rocks. I dont know what it was about him but he would squeez my hand, seemingly as hard has he could.

I hate people like that--just shake hands with a normal grip; it's not that difficult a concept.
