Adderall and bench press

like

I wish I could use adderall but it just makes me super hyper, doesn't really help me focus

I hype myself up, which is easier to do in the world of virtual/phone interviews. I'll watch a clip of a funny video to put me in a good mood, or play a jam and dance it out. Dancing helps me get out some of the jitters, and then I am in an energized and confident mood for the interview

Y'all are making interviews sound a lot more fun

If you are already employed and your families life doesn’t depend on you landing a new opportunity, just have fun with it. Little to no risk even if you completely bomb the interview.

Final round! Panel interview w an assignment to present some ideas on how to increase customers for 1 of 5 key audience segments.
