Songs to Listen to Before Interview?

A 2014 study suggested that those who listened to the bass-heavy music felt more confident and performed better at interviews and meetings.

Exampled included 50 Cent’s In Da Club and Queen’s We Will Rock You.

My personal favorites are Eminem's Lose Yourself and Kendrick's King Kunta.

What are some hype songs that you like? Any suggestions? I need more songs for my playlist.

I was once told that if you are afraid of flying, every time you take off you should listen to Britney Spears's "oops I did it again" every time the plane takes off. You can count on the plane not crashing because nooone was meant to go out that way.

"That was basically college for me, just ya know, fuckin' tourin' with Widespread Panic over the USA."
 

Out of personal experience, it is best not to listen to music, as that takes you into your head. The trick is to get out of your head, i personally like to make small talk with a random stranger to calm my nerves before an interview. Just my $0.02.
