Overcoming Anxiety Before the Big Interview: My Journey to a Dream Job
Today, I find myself on the brink of a life-changing opportunity — in just 30 minutes, I will be interviewing with the cybersecurity company of my dreams. To say that I’m anxious would be an understatement; I’m positively buzzing with excitement and nerves!
For the past two weeks, I have dedicated countless hours to studying and preparing for this moment. Between juggling long work hours and intense revision sessions, I’ve done everything I can to ensure I’m ready for this interview. Despite my efforts, the overwhelming emotions are hard to manage. It’s a bittersweet mix of anticipation and fear.
Due to the sensitive nature of my current job, I’m unable to share my excitement with friends or family on social media. My colleagues are aware of my presence online, and this adds another layer of stress. So here I am, seeking solace in the community, hoping that sharing my feelings will provide some relief.
Thank you for taking the time to read this — it feels great to express myself. While it might not be a typical post, I needed a space to channel my excitement. Wish me luck!
Update: I can’t believe I’m typing this — I did it! I’m moving on to the next round! The joy is indescribable, and I’m still shaking with happiness. A huge thank you to everyone who sent positive energy my way. Onward and upward!
