I met a guy from Singapore recently and had a friend from Vietnamese origins and they both had an odd limp way of shaking your hand but they were very nice dedicated hard working guys!

I've done a bit of hiring and honestly the handshake has never been a major component of my analysis. Not to say that interpersonal dynamics don't matter -- quite the contrary, in consulting such factors are always important. However to me that means conversational ease and clarity of thought, etc. Hmm… I’ve done a bit of hiring and honestly the handshake has never been a major component of my analysis.

A handshake tells you alot about the person, but be warned, crushing someone's hand when shaking it, is also a turn off. The ideal handshake, is a firm and reassuring one.
