Overcoming Nerves: My Journey to Interviewing at My Dream Cybersecurity Company

Today, in just thirty minutes, I am stepping into the interview of a lifetime—one with my dream cybersecurity firm for a position I have tirelessly prepared for. To say I’m feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety would be an understatement; I’m absolutely on edge!

Over the past two weeks, I’ve dedicated myself to studying and honing my skills, all while juggling long work hours. Now, as the clock ticks down, I find myself a bundle of nerves, praying that my hard work will pay off.

Unfortunately, I can’t share this thrilling moment with my usual social circles, as my current employer is aware of my activity on social media. However, I felt the need to express my feelings somewhere, and what better place than here?

As I gear up for this pivotal moment, I just want to thank you for allowing me to vent my feelings of anxiety and excitement. I know this isn’t your average post, but it helps to have a community to share these milestones with.

Update: I did it! I successfully made it through to the next round of interviews! I can’t explain how ecstatic I am right now—thank you all for your encouragement and positive energy. I’m still trembling with joy!

Here’s to pursuing our dreams, even when the nerves kick in!
