Perhaps we shouldn't strive (and stress about) being the best you can be, during the interview.

On the contrary, if you passed an interview being your worst, and still be hired, it would be much cooler, for everybody:

- you wouldn't stress about the interview, - you would exceed expectations on the job, therefore - your employer would be happy; - also, since you'd be less stressed, you'd be more creative, and therefore overall more successfull, as a lot of studies seem to show.

Of course, since in the capitalist system, getting hired is often a question of life of death, it can't be less stressful. I'll let you guess where the actual problem lies...
