Feeling anxious about a job interview

Feeling anxious about a job interview

I have an interview set for tomorrow.

Mid day.

I feel a bit apprehensive as I am worried it is too IT heavy but then I think maybe it won't be.

I'm also conscious of the fact that I feel undervalues and don't know where I'm going in life etc.

But I have spent the last 4 years balancing out priorities and where I can go in my life with my skills and experience.

Whenever someone asks me what I want to do or where I want to go in life I never really know the answer.

I had an epiphany today that if someone asked me "is this the direction you want to go in" then I'd say no. But I also think it's unwise to say "I'll only go in a direction I want to go in" because you close out opportunity but you also limit yourself and life is ever changing.

I guess I'm just saying that I need to balance ambition and what I "want" with what's available and practical

Its a weird time to be alive and a weird time to be in yours 20s.

I'm gonna sit here outside and let the sun thaw me out a bit more

Re: Feeling anxious about a job interview

Just wondering, @MDT, have you ever felt that with some lecturers, no matter how hard you work and present good work, that they are just waiting to pull your work apart? I'm asking if you ever feel that marking is personal? 😒🤨

Hope all is going well for you.

hi @Historylover
thanks for dropping in
Yes I remember that happening to me during uni. It was just after a presentation in a group. I still remember thinking "why the hell are you saying this to us now in front of everyone"

Sometimes they are just like that - that was the only answer I could come up with in the end

I'm not going well today @Historylover

Just on another thread if you wanted to visit it
