I apologise sincerely for being absent so much this week. I’ve been putting all of my effort into getting ready for tomorrow’s interview after work. The fact that I’ve been invited for an interview for this position, which is a dream come true for me, is both exciting and nerve-racking.

I can’t help but wonder if I might be experiencing some imposter syndrome. I’ve been so consumed by fear and stress this week that it’s been challenging to concentrate on my regular responsibilities. Every interview I’ve had has been a little difficult for me, I frequently forget what I’m saying and fumble over my words. This time, I truly hope everything works out, but for some reason, the anticipation is driving me crazy.

I’m constantly worried since I’m still quite new to this world of work and I feel like I could slip up because the interviewers are all so experienced and then there’s me.

It’s 8 o’clock and all I want to do is sleep since I’m so exhausted. But I can’t help but feel that I should be preparing myself instead of wasting time sleeping. I’m completely exhausted after a full on week and it isnt even friday yet.

I promise to update you all on how it goes. Please keep your fingers crossed for me!

I’d appreciate any advice at this point.

Love,

Sumaya
