Avoid sweating for your job interview.

With newly hatched College Grads on the loose, chiseling and refining their perfect resume to begin their new careers.  And a %9.5 unemployment rate in the country, it’s safe to say that interviewing for that big job needs to be a serendipitous series of events for us this season.

In a recent study, a majority of respondents have stated they would NOT hire someone who appeared to be sweating during the interview process.  Now, if you’re like us you’re thinking “It’s not our fault!”  And although a good deodorant anti-perspiration agent such as Thai Salt Crystal is essential for the underarms, it doesn’t do much for the fact that you’re wearing a shirt, pants and tie that probably keep heat and moisture clamped to your body.

Lucky for us, Mother Nature has our backs.  The answer: Cotton.

According to Wikipedia: “Cotton is a soft, fluffy, staple fiber that grows in a boll around the seeds of the cotton plant.”  But, most importantly for us, it is a natural wicking agent (yes like a candle).  It literally pulls moisture as it’s created on our skin to the surface of the garment so it can evaporate quicker.  Which also means it keeps you much cooler than other fabrics.

This could be the difference between nailing that big interview because you feel cool and comfortable in a nice breezy cotton shirt, or asking your interviewer for a tissue so you can wipe your brow mid-sentence, and probably, inevitably, not getting a call back.

Here’s a bunch of great Cotton Shirts designed to keep you cool for your big questionnaire:
