I personally don't do anything related to the interview the day of, I just chill and have my mind elsewhere. Found I got too in my head otherwise and it affected performance! Take a while to clear your head and just focus on feeling calm etc. Best of luck with your interview!- Jacob Miller

All I did for my profile picture (the one I use here) was chuck a shirt on and have my fiancee photograph me against a wall in the house. 5 minutes of editing on my phone and a black and grey filter hides 99% of the issues and works...- Jacob Miller

Hey, I totally get what you mean here. For what it's worth, I've always used personal examples for this question and I feel they often carry more impact and give a better insight into you than a professional example does.
