I'm a sweaty man

Find a sweaty woman, settle down and have sweaty kids, make sure they meet sweaty partners (rinse and repeat) in turn making all employers expect each candidate to be sweaty.*

*Warning this may take about a 1000 years or so to implement

Drink no fluids for 1 week before an interview.

You were probably sweating from guilt at the people you'd annoy.

Probably not the best place to get serious advise

But i too suffer from this affliction.
I always try and arrive early, so i have time to sit and relax and cool down.
I wash my face with cold water if i can use the toilet facilities while waiting.
I wear a shirt that does not show if i am sweating, or wear a suit jacket.
If i think i am sweating, i'll just start sweating more!! so not thinking about It is the best, easier said then done!!
Its happened me before when i couldnt help sweating, but usually when i get into the 'groove' of the interview i calm down.
But i just said, 'hey sorry about the sweating, i was rushing as a didnt want to be late', if you draw attention to it, it seems like its not a big deal.
I was sweating in my first interview for the job i have now, and still got called back for the second interview, and was offered the job, so its not as big a deal as you make it out to be in your mind.
More often then not, you think you are sweating more then you actually are.
So just say to yourself, 'fcuk it!! nobody really cares!!'
Or, you could be seen as that really weird sweaty guy!!

So anyway, stay cool (literally)

Are you talking about drinking or rubbing on your head pre interview?



If you're absolutely serious, the best way of combating sweating during an interview is prepare the **** out of it till you feel comfortable with it. Convince yourself you're good enough for the role.

If you're fat it will look really disgusting so lose some weight fatty!

If not, it will still look weird but less disgusting.

Boom_Bap

wear a John Mc Enroe 80's style sweat band to any future interviews.

Firstly 13e/h is not something i'd turn down since i did more annoying jobs for less money ( leaflet distrabutor)

I think for my next interview i'll have a can of beer and maybe spray loads of anti-persprint on my forehead.

El Weirdo

Driclor.

Edit: Sorry, wouldn't advise putting this on your head!

I get it sometimes in interviews too.

Just laugh and say Jaysis I sweat like a cunt sometimes to the interviewer and try and ignore it.

Mr Benevolent

Did you get the job OP? There aren't a lot of interviews going on at the moment.

Oranage2

It was only yesterday and they said they'd be in contact monday. The lady was really nice but she asked was i nervous and it must of been because i was dripping in sweat.

I was shocked cause reading work and jobs people have been sending CVs away for months with no reply.

All over body varnish. Preferably clear, you dont want to look like the Ronseal man.

Edit. I mean Cuprinol man!

Bog roll under each armpit, sorted.

No, I think he's telling the truth.

frank reynolds

Botox injections to the sweatiest parts... ie: underarm botox to close up over-excessive sweat glands.

check out some cosmetic surgery places. i THINK it'd be cheap enough

My hand dont get sweaty and i dont really bodily sweat loads, its really just my big forehead and its a nervous thing.

its true. i know someone who got it done on their hands because the palms of her hands were always sweating.
FACT.

(im not trawling for links to prove it though!) :P

A small hand towel and anti perspirant should sort it out if you can get to the jacks before hand. I usually sweat like a knacker trying to read so I have a washbag in work with lynx and a towel so I can have a whooer's wash when it gets bad.

used to suffer from this myself.
Headsweats are awful.

Drink a lot of water before attending the interview : helps to cool the system.
Worked for me.

Botox will work as other posters have suggested. Get it done someplace that they know what they're doing. The amount of sweat won't reduce, it'll stop in the area which is treated, but find itself another outlet!

Google for medical remdies...http://www.hyperhidrosis.us/facial-sweating.php

There's loads of sites with more.

A pocket fan, bag of ice and a towel might do the trick, or you could tell them you have an interview phobia:)
