Just trying to figure out how people deal with over-thinking everything during an onsite interview. Despite being well prepared there's always the unknown part which throws you off. Not necessarily stress per se, more like not being 100% attentive or present while being interviewed for the whole day.

Any tips on how to relax and be 100% in it?

    Diet wise, I would suggest L-Theanine. It is a non essential amino acid found in some forms of Tea. Humans can safely ingest a large amount of it. For me, at about 300mg, I am very relaxed. Combined with Caffeine, it has a mild and similar effect as ADHD drugs.
