The power of a firm handshake and positive energy: A firm handshake and positive energy can make a strong first impression, impacting your perception of someone and potential working relationship, regardless of their qualifications.
First impressions matter, and two crucial elements of a good first impression are a firm handshake and positive energy.

These factors can significantly influence whether or not you want to work with someone, even if they have impressive qualifications. So, always remember to put your best foot forward with a strong handshake and positive energy to make a lasting and favorable first impression.
Show enthusiasm and engagement during interviews: Preparedness, respect, and enthusiasm can help make a strong and memorable impression during interviews or auditions
During interviews or auditions, it's important to show enthusiasm and engagement with the project or opportunity being presented.
