work. As I'm just about to sign off the email the voice in my
head/thoughts said "liar liar." I that what the person will think of me
and my job history?
I have a paranoia that people don't believe my life history.
Not many people were getting jobs as programmers for a European Space
Agency project when they were 18. Certainly not people who got a 3rd in
their degree. I don't think anyone apart from me would have blagged that
job at Capital One with a third. They only recruited from the top
universities and people with a 2:1 or above. They used testing for their
interviews and I scored well on whatever they perceived was value and I
signed the contract before I got my exams results. I remember many
friends telling me I was a jammy bastard.
Not many people go from working there to working in a council to working
on a magazine to volunteering at a mental health charity to working at a
national mental health charity to working for an augmented reality
startup in China. There are probably fewer who've been in psychiatric wards.
Since starting writing this blog post I've re-edited the email. Now the
voice is saying I'm perfect for the role because of my mix of unusual
professional experience and my interest in the subject.
Fingers crossed. I still don't trust it though. The voice I mean.
