Interview
It was the ultimate job. It was all every bachelor, like me, could ever dream about. I was a 23 year old lawyer. Just starting off my career and hoping to one day make a big name for myself, to work with the best possibly be the best, live a life that was only seen in the movies. This was where it could all start. This job was exactly what I was looking for and unfortunately, what every young advocate starting off his or her career was also looking for.
From nearly two weeks before my interview I started panicking. What if I don’t get the job? What am I going to say? What if I freeze or mess up? I thought to myself. I would ruin my career if I never managed to get this job! Days passed and the day to my interview slowly but surely reeled in and with many sleepless I nights I was losing the confidence and motivation I needed. I sat at my table all day planning out word for word and the answers to every possible question I could imagine being asked. My current state had left me in a terrible condition; I was wasted at the least and every moment of life felt like hell. Gradually the two weeks turned into two days. Then I had an epiphany under all the tension and pressure I had put upon myself I never realised that the interview was just two days away. My mind went into overdrive and the remaining two days surprisingly flew by once again preparing for the interview.
