Handling back to back interviews

Might be a dumb question, but:
Superdays usually have back to back interviews, my worst experience has been 5 in a row.
I see my performance dramatically decline in these, especially when I have been speaking for over an hour.

I start fumbling, lose focus, my communication skills take a nose dive and I am unable to answer even the most basic question in a sane manner.

Any advice??

 

Make sure you get plenty of sleep the night before and have a full breakfast. Make a conscience effort to sit up straight to help with the speaking. Outside of that, it is really up to you to perform throughout the whole process.

Honestly - get a good nights sleep if you have them 5 days in a row. Though - I had a week of 1st rounds in NYC, and I found that I was always more awake if I didn't eat breakfast, or ate something really small. Could just be me though....

 

not 5 days..

just take them one at a time, honestly i find the first couple to be the hardest since i'm not in the right interview mindset at that pt. then it's just like repeating a process.
