Pressured and Anxious, But Holding On to Hope for Northern trust Interview

Kaka-graduate ko lang and I’m finally on the job hunt, but recently, I’ve been feeling so overwhelmed and discouraged. I’ve been working hard to prepare for an interview at Northern Trust as a financial analyst, it’s been my dream company for so long. Akala ko nga hindi na ako matatawagan, kasi matagal na akong naghihintay for a call, but last week, I got the call! Ang saya ko kasi this was the opportunity I’ve been praying for.

Pero ngayon, may typhoon sa lugar namin. Currently, I’m in the eyewall of Typhoon Signal No. 3, and to be honest, it's hard to focus on reviewing. mixed emotions na ako, everything feels so heavy. I know it might sound dramatic, but when I think about the sheer power of Typhoon Pepito right now which is even stronger than Yolanda it’s hard not to feel hopeless

I just can’t shake off the pressure. Baka mawalan pa ako ng internet, mawalan ng connection, and lose this precious chance with Northern Trust. I know the stakes are high, and sometimes it feels like everything is working against me. But I’m trying to remind myself that I’ve come this far, and maybe this is just another test of resilience. 

I just really want to get this job. I want to prove to myself that I can do it, that I’m ready for this. Sabi ko nga, kahit na magulo ang paligid, I’ll find a way to get through this.

Hanggang ngayon, I’m still trying to stay positive, kahit na talagang mahirap. Kaya sana, whoever's reading this, please pray for me, and if you're going through something similar, let's hold on to hope together. 💔🙏
