  1. 1

    Today was a whirlwind of emotions for me. I received a conditional job offer, which is exciting, but it also meant I had to ask my current manager for a reference. When I approached him and he agreed, I was overwhelmed with relief and unexpectedly burst into tears. I felt so embarrassed, especially since I apologized repeatedly, saying, "I'm so sorry I didn't realize I was going to cry." I can't believe I let my emotions get the best of me like that. Now, I'm left feeling anxious about how I’ll handle my new job if I can't control my tears at work. I’m 27, and I really don’t want to come off as unprofessional or overly emotional. Any advice on how to manage my emotions in a professional setting would be greatly appreciated.
