The interviewer isn't applying for the job - they don't have to
impress you especially in this job market- they're are dozens
waiting for the job..
But that the interviewer had a bad handshake doesn't mean they
don't like you - if he's a man and you're a woman - some men
really don't like to give a firm handshake to a woman. Who
knows all their reasons why but that limp hand handshake is not
uncommon and doesn't mean necessarily that he didn't like you.
If he's an older man and you're a younger woman, that age gap
and discomfort from it can come through in a limp handshake.

Anyway, I hope you got the job!
