I wasn’t fully confident in my grasp of the business topic, and deep down, I saw this as my one and only shot to break into an international job market. This is not the right mood that helps you to achieve your goals and later I will tell you how I control my emotions and expectations now. It is not only about job interview and not only about professional life, it is an approach in general to feel self-confidence in any interactions.
I began by researching to understand what the business needed. But it took too much time and I didn’t find the right balance between research and development. Then I focused too much on creating a complex backend. I was up all night, barely sleeping, all because I was terrified of blowing this chance. When it was time to present my prototype, I was exhausted.
