I've read that the origin of a handshake was to prove that a person was unarmed. So when we meet new people and don't feel like shaking hands, we should just look them square in the eye and say, "I am carrying no weapons. Can you say the same?"
I suspect that would work well in job interviews, and in any other situation as well.
