I have a technical interview tomorrow morning for a job after 18 months and I feel like I’m going to fail. I have no idea why though because I’ve been damn good at my jobs for 20 years. I just have a 6 month old that I watch 5 days a week, work a fast food job the other 2 days, a spouse that is recovering from cancer, a disease that the chemo had on him, and now an appendicitis. I NEED a job, I am running through money faster than I can make it. I’m worried that all of these pressures put more stress on me which translates somehow to my interviews.
That’s a lot to deal with. Cancer is devastating, even when it doesn’t kill it causes so much pain. You’re working, and you have a young child to look after which is hard enough. On top of that, you’ve got financial issues to deal with. It’s no wonder you’re distressed anybody would be, and you’re doing amazing.
With all this pressure it’s no surprise that you’re stressed about the interview. Your cup is already full, you need this, and there’s a lot at stake. Your brain is understandably ringing alarms for you and telling you things about yourself that aren’t true. I believe in you 100% you said yourself you can do your job. You’ve got this, and no matter how it goes you’ve got a load of supporters here the other side. Let us know how it goes we’re all cheering you on
