I have got few, simple but very useful information about handshake. We do it daily but we can do better & gives best impression to an interviewer as well business clients.

A good handshake:
o keep the fingers together with the thumb up and open
o slide your hand into the other person's so that each person's web of skin between thumb and forefingers touches the other's
o squeeze firmly.
A proper handshake:
o Is firm but not bone-crushing
o lasts about 3 seconds
o may be "pumped" once or twice from the elbow
o is released after the shake, even if the introduction continues
o includes good eye contact with the other person
Extend a hand when:
o Meeting someone for the first time
o Meeting someone you haven't seen for a while
o Greeting your host(ess)
o Greeting guests
o Saying good-bye to people at a gathering
o Someone else extends a hand
