[QUOTE="Amma Usman, post: 188115, member: 36740"] [B]Hey [USER=37661]@Simi.O[/USER] [/B] I completely understand how you're feeling right now. I remember during my first-year scheme application cycle, I was asked to complete a pre-recorded interview, and I completely froze until the time limit ran out. I felt exactly the way you do—disappointed and as if I'd wasted an important opportunity. [B][I]But[/I][/B] moments like this are actually more common than we realise, especially early in our careers when we’re still getting comfortable with these high-stakes situations. It’s easy to get down on yourself, but it’s [B][I]crucial to remember[/I][/B] that this one moment doesn’t define you or your potential. I convinced myself that it wasn’t a true measure of my ability to communicate well and saw it as just one of many stepping stones in the journey. I also found it helpful to take a step back and recharge, which helped me come back stronger and even more prepared for the next time. So, be kind to yourself. You’re capable of learning from this, and it’s clear you’re already doing everything you can to grow. No matter the outcome, this experience is a valuable lesson that will only make you more resilient. [B][I]Keep going—you’re doing amazing![/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
