Please wish me luck for my interview tomorrow

I was made redundant earlier this year and have applied for so many jobs since. Tomorrow I have my eighth interview (I am exhausted) and it’s for a job I really want. Financially, it would make such a difference (my redundancy payout is long gone and I’m living off savings). I also think that this role will help restore the confidence in myself that I’ve struggled to find since having children. So please pray (if you have a faith) or send positive vibes and wishes for me to do well tomorrow. I’d really appreciate it. Thank you.

@TheArtistFormerlyKnownasSuccessful Thank you for coming back to update us! It sounds like you did really well! I think most people get a little waffle-y partly down to the nerves and panels are aware of that so I wouldn’t worry and if you feel you gave really strong answers then that is fantastic news and you should be proud of yourself. Did they say much about next steps/stages/ what to expect?

I’ll keep everything crossed for you 🤞🏻

mum2jakie · 26/08/2025 20:12

Glad it went well. Hope you get an answer tomorrow and aren't left waiting too long!

I got the job!!! 🥳 I’m still in shock (while trying to ignore the lurking imposter syndrome that’s already creeping in 😂). So grateful to have secured something after a very stressful few months. Thank you all so much for your lovely words and well wishes- it really did help ❤

I think threads like this are the reason I’m still on MN!

Fab news and many congratulations, OP, and how wonderful of so many pp to help bolster you for that interview. 🙂

Absolutely. I’m so touched by the kindness I’ve received from people who don’t even know me. It’s a lovely reminder of what a great source of support MN can be.
