ce your arrival to the secretary and then quietly take a seat in the waiting room if offered one. While waiting, maintain good stature, ready to spring out of the chair at any moment, a pleasant and intelligent expression on your face (you don't want to look bored), and do not let your eyes wander all over. You can look covertly around the office, but try to curb your curiosity from leading you on a tour of the waiting room. When the interviewer arrives, stand up to greet them with a "Hello, I am Mark Manning. It is a pleasure to meet you." Respond to their offering of a handshake with a firm one while looking them in the eye. Keep yourself turned to them and show your frankness. The handshake itself can show how confident and enthusiastic you are. Show in your face, hands, and body language that you are glad to meet them.
While a handshake may seem like a minor aspect of the interview process, the employer is seeking any and all cues that tell them what kind of person you are. Practice and be prepared to show your confidence, enthusiasm, and pleasure of meeting them.
