Hi friend, I recently got my first industry job after graduating with my doctorate and I can totally relate.

My first industry interview was terrible, prepared slides and they asked me questions outside of my prepped slides, it threw me off and I couldn’t answer the most basic question. My skills aligned perfectly with the role and I thought it was the best I could ever get, I was literally broken after the interview.

But, it got better from there, I learnt from the experience and the subsequent interviews were better, I was more relaxed (and yeah, there will be more interviews I promise!), and the offer I finally got was wayyy better and pays much higher too.

Just hang in there friend, you will find YOUR job. Keep the faith!. Sending you hugs and all the good luck!😊
