My favorite low-effort upgrade for workplace from a trailhead

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where interviews stopped feeling new.

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. jobs got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.
