I have an interview in 20 minutes and I think I’m going to be sick

[MrsMalcolmFuckingTucker]

I’m a third year student nurse and this is my first interview for a job for when I qualify. I haven’t had an interview for years, but the last time I did I went to pieces. I have done loads of research, had a good nights sleep, have a glass of water by my side and I’m trying to take deep breaths but I can’t focus.

It’s over zoom which I’m not sure if that makes it easier or harder. It’s for my absolute dream job and is exactly the kind of job I came into nursing to do.

So, wish me luck! And fingers crossed I don’t throw up

Yay! Great news

Ah fantastic, and well done! I’ve just started my dream nurse role, it’s taken me a long time to find it but there’s nothing quite like job satisfaction and a great team. Good luck with qualifying

Thank you so, so much! Honestly training has been such a slog, it’s been the hardest thing I’ve done but 4 years ago I managed to get out of a very emotionally and financially abusive relationship (think no carpets and peeling wallpaper but exdp driving around in a £30,000 car, out every night etc 🙄) . I finally found the courage to leave with DS, had no job, no car, no money, nothing to my name really. Moved into my mums spare room, managed to get a job by a fluke that paid nothing but was a step on the ladder and was flexible. Got my own place (council but all mine to do with as I pleased and make into a lovely home for DS), got my
Own car and made good friends/reconnected with family. Decided to take the plunge and start my training so quit my job and started the training much to the amusement of exdp. No help from exdp with ds (he has him and ds adores him but we do not speak really at all). Anyway, almost 3 years on it’s been a struggle but I am
Thriving, have a lovely DP who is so supportive and brilliant, have a lovely life, have been on amazing trips , ds is thriving and now my dream job. Which I know sounds so gushy and hope no one needs a sick bag but honestly my life just a few years ago was the polar opposite of what it is today. So thanks to you all for your kind words and if anyone is reading this having a shitty time in a crap relationship then truly it can get better, life can get so much better!

Anyway I sound drunk now, I’m going to order a celebratory Chinese and toast to the future!

Enjoy the food and the celebration. Bloody awesome news. Hope you’re so proud of yourself. You should be.

This has been lovely to read! Congratulations OP, all that hard work has paid off. I'm so proud of you and I don't even know you

So happy for you, glad all your hard work came off.

What an update!
Have something in my eye....
Well done, with everything. What a woman!

Well deserved, wishing you further success and happiness.

Good luck..I bet you will do better then you think 😊

Yaaaay

Brilliant news! Well done

Congratulations! I was thinking if you earlier, I'm so happy for you.
It's sounds like you've been through a lot and all the hard work has paid off. Well done!

Оh! How I understand you!
I studied in Europe and dreamed of working as a nurse in the UK, USA, or Canada. I thought it was very difficult to get an interview. The thing is, I had never worked before. I had helped care for children after illness, but it wasn't a medical facility. I'm sure I know and can do a lot of things, but I didn't know how to present it. I studied the requirements of employers on websites. I had to fill out a special form and send an essay and testimonials to the employer from the children's facility where I was a volunteer. I had to be very professional about my actual experience. I wrote once and sent it in. I was turned down. I wasn't even scheduled for an interview! So I went to a specialized agency, told them about my experience, and asked them to summarize this. As it turned out later, it was the right decision. My experience turned out to be more valuable than I had thought. My chances got better. I have an invitation to two interviews. I think I had a chance to get my dream job. And I paid about $15 for it I am also excited, of course, but not as much as I used to be I realized that if you want a good result, you have to prepare well.
Maybe for someone will be valuable my experience.
