Embracing the Nerves: My Journey to an Interview with My Dream Company

Today marks a significant milestone in my career journey—I have an interview with my dream company in cybersecurity, and to say I’m feeling a whirlwind of emotions would be an understatement. With only 30 minutes to go, I find myself caught between excitement and sheer anxiety.

Over the past two weeks, I’ve poured my heart into studying and preparing for this interview, all while balancing long hours at my current job. Now, as the clock ticks down, I can’t help but feel overwhelmed. The anticipation of this opportunity has me buzzing with nerves, yet I can’t shake off the exhilaration that accompanies such a pivotal moment.

Unfortunately, I can’t share this news on my usual social media channels—my current employer is aware of my online presence, which makes it challenging to express how truly anxious and excited I am. It feels good to let some of these feelings out here, in a space where I can freely share my excitement without worry.

Thank you for taking the time to read my little vent—it’s not something I often share, but I’ve found it therapeutic to put these thoughts into words.

Update: I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve made it to the next round! Just after the interview, I was a bundle of nerves, but hearing that I progressed has filled me with joy and elation. Thank you all for your positive energy; it truly made a difference. I still can’t believe it! Here’s to new opportunities and the exciting journey ahead!
