Handshake key to landing a job, scientists claim

This article made me chuckle. Not because of its claims, because I agree. But because of this paragraph:

The interviewers graded each student’s overall performance and employability while five trained handshake experts also scored students on their handshake. The scores were then compared.

“Trained handshake experts?” Really? I can see the resume now.

Skills: Public speaking, Presentation, Communication, Certified Hand Shaking Expert, Certified in Microsoft Office

It’d make me wonder whether I was hiring a person or a golden retriever.
