Overcoming Interview Anxiety: My Journey to the Cybersecurity Dream Job
Today marks a pivotal moment in my professional journey as I prepare for an interview with a leading cybersecurity company. In just 30 minutes, I’ll step into a room (or a virtual space) where my hard work over the past few weeks will be put to the test. The anticipation I feel is a whirlwind of excitement and anxiety, and I must admit, it’s quite overwhelming.
For the last two weeks, I have immersed myself in study sessions, reviewed critical materials, and poured over relevant topics, all while juggling the demands of my current job. The pressure to perform and the desire to succeed at this dream opportunity have left me feeling like a bundle of nerves.
Unfortunately, I can’t share my excitement on other social media platforms, as my current employer follows my accounts. This adds another layer to my anxiety, as I navigate the delicate balance of professionalism and personal ambition.
Nonetheless, I wanted to take a moment to express my feelings here—this space feels right for sharing my genuine enthusiasm and fears. Thank you for letting me vent a little!

I can hardly contain my excitement as I share the incredible news: I have successfully made it to the next round of interviews! The support and positive energy from this community have fueled my confidence, and I am still buzzing with happiness. Thank you all for the encouragement! Here’s to the next chapter in this journey—let’s keep the momentum going!
