How do you stop getting sweaty hands during an interview?
Below is a snippet from an email sent to my from a desperate wife. ‘How do you stop getting sweaty hands during an interview’ Her husband was going for an important job interview the following day and di not want a ‘sweaty hand interview‘ but wanted to confidently offer over a nice dry firm hand shake.
The trouble here is well there isn’t much trouble. This is a man who doesn’t normally have any excessive sweating problem but quite normally during a situation of anxiety and raised stress is worried about getting sweaty hands. The best advice which is sometimes easier said than done is to try and relax and stay calm. This is an abnormal situation you are getting in to so try to stick to as normal a routine as you can this will help with feelings of anxiety. Try to breath deeply.
As the wife said there is no need for any sort of sergical proceedures here. Yhink all that would be needed is just proir to the interview is a quick wash of the hands, throughly dry and apply a bit of powder. Think positively and do well in the interview.
No sweaty hands interview – go get the job

First you get sweaty hands probably because your too excited, clammy, nervous anxious etc. To Prevent this from happening try to stay really calm, relaxed and don't panic. Be Confident and you'll be good.

I know what you mean, in the past I have held a tissue in my hand prior to the hand the shake to absorb the sweat or place your hands face down on your thighs whilst waiting for your interview.

I sympathise, i almost got the sack for having sweaty hands when younger, I used to turn all my foremans machine tools rusty after i had used them, I was banned from using them, but as the above answerer says try a deoderant just before the interview it will work, good luck to hubby

first of all don't worry because it is normal. i am sure almost everyone gets sweaty hands one time or another during the/an interview. It happens to me sometimes. One way to get rid of them is to maybe carry a tissue or tissues in both pants pockets and when/if hes nervous and the hands are sweaty, then before he shakes hands casually put them in his pocket and like dry them off with the tissue(s) by just rubbing the hands on them(MAYBE DO IT WHILE HES STILL SITTING BEFORE GETTING UP SO NO ONE ELSE–PERSON HIRING/INTERVIEWING OR SOMEONE ELSE IN THE ROOM DOESN'T SEE). That could work, I did that at least once that I can remember. And I know how he feels cause at the moment I'm looking for work myself and do sometimes get nervous. by the way im an older male if that matters. GOOD LUCK TO UR HUSBAND ON HIS INTERVIEW AND HOPE IVE BEEN OF HELP.

wear on glove, and when you shake hands you have to take it off, take that as a chance to wipe off sweat on hands.
