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.

You've got this. I wish I had good advice or something to offer but I'll drop this This has helped like one person ever besides me and I recognize it's a little ridiculous but I play pretend with myself that it already happened and I'm replaying it. The outcome is predetermined. I'm just going through the motions and doing my best for practice. Makes me feel less pressure and more at ease for things I can't realistically prepare for more.

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
