Haha, I remember when I graduated college and went for some interviews. At one I was so sweaty that before the interview started, I kept my hands in my pocket with 2 tissues. And when the interviewer came, he shook my hand and then wiped his hand on his pants
). He didn't shake my hand after the interview ended
))))).
This is the reason why, thank God, I have a work-from-home job. Just have to go to meetings 3 times a year to sign documents and stuff, sometimes I enter late, say nothing and leave asap and get off without having to shake anyone's hands. It doesn't pay well, but I will live with that for now. Oh, and I don't have a personal life
MY ADVICE/ what I do when I have to go to an interview, meeting etc:
- don't eat that day, maybe even the day before (don't worry you can go days/weeks without food), exercise until very very tired (so if the interview is let's say at 2PM, wake up early that morning and exercise a lot (cycling works) ... you will sweat a lot and get very tired and won't sweat as much at the interview, and drink water but just a sip every so often 15min. or so (you have to drink some water - it's very dangerous otherwise, people have died even after just 2 days of not drinking water). And soon after the interview is over..eat something.
Now if you have some health problems or something like that ... then be careful, but from my experience it works and I haven't noticed anything bad - do this rarely. Now I have to mention I have tried pills, lotions, iontophoresis... nothing worked. Iontophoresis worked a little bit - the hands itched like crazy (sweat trying to get through the skin) until a few minutes later... red skin and sweat pouring out of me.
Good luck with the interviews and like my mom says: remember that some people have missing hands, legs, terminal illnesses ... we just have sweaty hands (in my case other parts as well) it's not the end of the world, other people have it much worse.
