I'm currently in the final stretch of the interview process for a role I applied for on July 15th. It has been a drawn-out experience that’s really testing my patience. I was offered my first interview on July 24th, which took place on August 2nd. After that, I was offered a second interview on August 12th, and I had that on September 1st. Just a day later, I was offered a third interview, which happened on September 3rd. Now, here I am on September 9th, and the waiting is absolutely killing me. I understand they had to interview other candidates and just came back from a holiday, but the suspense is driving me up the wall. I felt confident after my last interview, but as the days go by, my anxiety is increasing, and I’m second-guessing everything I said. People keep telling me to 'manifest' and stay positive, but it's tough when I'm feeling so anxious. I know it’s a good sign to be in the final stages, but the waiting game feels criminal. Plus, if I do get the job, the intended start date is the 28th, and as an out-of-state candidate, I’d have barely two weeks to pack up my life and move. It’s a lot to think about, and right now, it just feels like torture.
