I’ve been offered a new job, at a very prestigious company, its a real step up in terms of responsbility and money. After the interview, I was certain I hadn’t done well. I walked away feeling like I’d fluffed it, and I was about 90% sure I wouldn’t be hearing back.
So when the offer came through today, I honestly thought they’d made a mistake... I accepted the role but now I’m struggling with a LOT of self-doubt.
The main thing playing on my mind is something I said during the interview about a particular design software. I told them I was very competent with it, which used to be true… but I haven’t actually used it in about five years. I’m not completely clueless, but I definitely need a refresher. I’m just worried I might have oversold myself completely and that I won’t be able to hit the ground running like they expect.
I do have the right experience, but I guess I’m just feeling like I’m not good enough for the job. There’s definitely a bit of imposter syndrome going on here. I actually feel like running away and turning it down, someone talk me out of it! 😓
