Anyone else looking forward to one or more of these-- arriving at six AM, straight off a plane from an interview on the West Coast the night before.

I have two of these and was wondering if anyone had any advice beyond the obvious. . . 🙂

Ambien as soon as you take a seat on the plane. . . 😉

I have one of these too - it's going to be brutal. I would definitely prefer not to sleep in a suit! 🙂
 
Ah yes. Been there and done that. 3 interviews, 4 days, east coast, west coast, east coast. Don't sleep in your suit. Most airports have a "family" bathroom often located between the men's and women's rooms. These usually have room to lay down your suitcase and change after the flight. Take a limo rather than a cab. Often only costs an extra 10-20 but much more roomy. Carry on your bag! I got stuck in one interview with my suit in chicago and me in wisconsin.
and above all, have fun!

Especially with the side effect of anterograde amnesia. Nothing worse than not realizing the reason you weren't ranked was because you inexplicably started belly dancing during the interview with the PD (and then not even remember doing it!)... 😱

Still, I guess it's better than possible effect of trazadone on you guys....
