sweaty hands

[Orchid]

any strategies to combat this ?

 

hate when my handshake feels like a cold fish to the person on the receiving end.

over-the-counter drysol!

Just keep a kleenex in your pocket and dry off just before you shake hands. Maybe some Ditropan? (Just kidding).

Thanks for the replies so far. I forgot to add that normally my hands are fine, it is only in interview situations or when I'm nervous / under pressure that they start to sweat.

 

Can drysol still be used for this purpose, i.e. apply the morning of interview so that if get nervous / when interview comes, hands will stay dry

or is it more a medication for someone with continuous hyperhydrosis or something.

 

thanks

i second nephets suggestion - having kleenex in your pocket to dry off before shaking hands.

I run my hands under ice cold water before heading into the interview / waiting room. I find this works wonders, unless of course you are kept in the waiting room for an hour before the interview starts.
