So what should you eat before that job interview so you can fight fatigue and think on your feet? Pumpkin seeds and dried apricots. Why? Pumpkin seeds are a great source of magnesium, which keeps your energy and metabolism running like a Porsche. That's according to the book The Good Mood Diet -- which also recommends dried apricots. The natural sugar in apricots boosts your blood-glucose levels -- which is your brain's main source of fuel. You'll also get a dose of iron which will help transport oxygen to your brain.

Don't shop where you buy gas. According to Forbes magazine, two out of three people stop at a convenience store at least once a week.
