As the subject reads...I've been invited to interview for my dream job.
I'm already employed in a role I genuinely love. It honestly doesn't feel like I'm going to work. I really do love it.
That said, I came across a role I loved the look of about 3 years ago. I didn't have the qualifications or experience for it so I never applied. Instead I used my previous experience to get my current job which is decently paid (33k) with excellent benefits (public sector).
Some part of me never got over the role I didn't apply for. It required a degree as well as professional membership which i don't have. It still does.
Since I've been in my current role, I've been studying the standards required by long lost role in the hopes that if it comes up again, I will be able to use 'self-study' in my CV.
The role was advertised again a few weeks ago. I applied half-heartedly and I HAVE AN INTERVIEW NEXT WEEK!
I'm beyond nervous.
Nothing in my work history gives me the right to apply for this role. The salary is the same as what I get now.
I don't know what I'm asking for here. Maybe some kind words of encouragement? Maybe somebody to tell me that without the qualifications needed, theyre just playing with me!?
Apologies for any mistakes, I got the notification at quarter past 11...
I need somebody to bring me back down to reality.
