In this world everything is about perception and
marketers can tell you this very well. I have a brother of my friend who works
at KCB as a training manager although he has an MBA in Marketing and he tells
me that marketing is about changing or enhancing perception which are focused
on influencing the consumption behaviors of our targets. An interview is not
different because the perception that you leave behind is very important and
thus you should endeavor to market yourself as good as possible.
In this exercise of marketing, it is very easy to
find yourself making a few mistakes here and there. The first opportunity you
get to create a good impression is the three-second handshake that starts the
interview. An ineffective handshake can spoil your image. A limp hand shake can
give the impression of disinterest or weakness. Make the handshake short and
firm to give out a positive message. We have always advised towards this.
