Overcoming Interview Anxiety: My Journey to a Dream Job in Cybersecurity

Today marks a significant milestone in my professional journey—an interview with my dream company in the cybersecurity sector. And honestly, as it approaches in just 30 minutes, I am a bundle of nerves!

For the past two weeks, I’ve dedicated countless hours to intensive preparation, juggling my responsibilities while making sure I was thoroughly ready for this opportunity. The excitement is palpable, yet simultaneously, I feel a wave of anxiety wash over me. It’s a mix of emotions that’s hard to articulate—anticipation, fear, hope—all swirling together.

I also face a unique challenge; I can’t share this moment on my usual social media channels since my current employer follows me there. This leaves me feeling a bit isolated as I navigate these emotions. Nonetheless, I wanted to express my feelings somewhere, and writing this post feels like the right outlet.

Thank you to everyone reading this! It might not be the typical content you’d expect here, but I needed someplace to channel my excitement. Cheers to new beginnings and potential opportunities!

Update: Wow, I can’t believe I’m saying this—I made it to the next round! Thank you all for the encouragement and support! I’m still buzzing with excitement and can hardly believe it’s real. Here’s to what lies ahead!
