AIBU to ask for your luck

I have a job interview this morning and I feel sick to my stomach.

At this rate I won’t be able to go because I keep having nervous poops.

It’s a big deal, I have to deliver two presentations to the C-Suite, it’s a more senior position that I’m currently in and the pay rise is worth every ounce of stress. It’s more flexible and it’ll benefit the kids so much if I get it.

My current job is toxic, the people, the environment and everything is made 10x harder than it needs to be due to process and every day I dread doing it.

I’ve prepped the life of out of these presentations but I still don’t feel ready. And I’m so nervous that I’ll go down like a lead balloon during the delivery. I have a massive dose of imposter syndrome.

I really want this job. AIBU to ask for someone out there to root for me!!

Woohooooo! Grin

Thanks so much for your support everyone. I read all your messages.

Cannot actually believe it. Will get through half term and then resign, I have a short notice period anyway so it shouldn’t be too painful.

Two issues arising now, it’s a big step up for me so I’m crapping myself. But then also after the Imodium yesterday, I can’t crap at all 🤣

You ladies are all wonderful thank you so much.

Don't worry about the step up. It will be a learning curve, but they've appointed you because they think you can do it. You will be fine!

I'm EVER so pleased to hear this...I'm sure you deserved it and I hope you're walking on air today. ( Get yourself some dried apricots and/or Movicol/lactose, and you'll feel even lighter!)
Congratulations, I should be feeling very proud of yourself.🌷
