The Rollercoaster of Emotions: My Journey to an Interview with My Dream Company

Today is a significant day for me—I have an interview in just 30 minutes! This opportunity is with my dream cybersecurity company, and I couldn’t be more thrilled (and anxious). Over the past two weeks, I’ve put in countless hours studying and preparing for this moment, all while balancing a demanding job. As I sit here, the mix of excitement and fear is almost overwhelming!

The intensity of preparation has left me feeling quite scattered. I have poured my heart into honing my skills and reviewing essential concepts, but now the anticipation is real. A part of me wants to shout from the rooftops, but I can’t share this news on my usual social media since my current employer is aware of my accounts. So here I am, seeking a safe space to express just how jittery and over-the-moon I feel about this opportunity!

Posting this might feel out of the ordinary, but I needed to share my excitement with someone—anyone. The universe feels electric right now, and I just hope it translates into a successful interview.

Thanks for taking the time to read my thoughts! I appreciate the community for providing me with this outlet.

Update: I am ecstatic to share that I did it—I have advanced to the next round! The support and good vibes from everyone mean the world to me. I’m still shaking with joy! Here’s to the next steps on this amazing journey!
