Afraid not to perform well at new job

I'm currently looking for a job and got through the second interview for the role I really like. However, I am already terrified that I'm not gonig to be able to perform! Thinking logically, I know there will be tasks I won't be familiar with but it's like that at every job and I will figure it out. But the insecurity creeps in and I start thinking am I going to be good enough, will I manage. (Imagine if a guy was in my position - he even wouldn't think about it!)

I've been working 60+ hrs on a weekly basis last year and don't get to develop new skills, take no satisfaction in what I do anymore, hence time to change. Also had really tough year so far so it's about bloody time for something good to happen to me Grin

This sounds like 'imposter syndrome' which is very common, especially in professional women. If you look online, there are resources that can help.

You've done well so far by getting through to the second interview - deep down, you know you can do this and, as you say, a new job is always going to involve learning new tasks - you wouldn't have got this far in the recruitment process if you didn't have the basic capabilities for the role.

Best of luck with the next interview.
