This sounds cheesy, but someone recently tipped me off to a Ted Talk on power poses (I forget the exact title). According to the talk, standing in a victory position (arms up, head raised) actually changes your hormone balance to improve confidence etc. So, every time you take a restroom break, try it out in the stall.
The woman who does the talk is Amy Cuddy, it's a great talk. Make sure no one sees your doing power poses in the bathroom! lol

I want to thank each and every one for your awesome advice. I seriously used EVERY bit of it! From the accepting each bath room break, to taking my migraine meds before hand to bringing a water jug, stashing snacks in my purse, to taking notes, to using the same answer more than once, to making a separate note page with each person and their title and taking respective notes on their page(it made the TY note process so much easier)....
All of it I used it and I felt VERY confident through the whole day. I credit that to the power pose. I made sure not to let myself slip into a "making myself smaller pose". I got the job. I am ecstatic. It is a right fit and well the $ ain't half bad either. I really couldn't do it without you all. So thank you!

Way to bury the lede!
Congratulations!!!! <) (high5)
LOL sorry! While it is huge that I got it I really feel what was really life changing is what I learned from you all. I have done tons of 2-3 hr interviews before but when your career gets to the point of a 6hr interview you have to approach it in a completely different way and honestly I did not have a clue. So think you. I have learned something that I am going to use for the rest of my life.
