...I'm feeling anxious for? another reason. I'm pretty happy to land this one, and got it through a lead. My friend's relative works for the company I'll be interviewing at and his department is hiring. Well, here's where I get anxious. In the case that I do get hired, I'm already worrying about how things will go on the job (new industry - I do have transferable skills and experience). On the last job I had, which I quit, I had a boss from hell and it was also in a different industry. My worry is that what if I end up not performing well here either, and now I'll have my friend's relative there present; he can relay to my friend what a screw-up I am..etc.. My friend never worked with me; he just knows I've been out of work for a long time and was happy to help me with this lead. This may affect our friendship (we also coordinate extracurricular activities together). I don't want word to spread how incompetent I am.. I'm not saying that this will definitely be the case, but if I get a hellish boss, it could turn out to be (I admit sometimes my work, which is usually pretty good, gets negatively affected when I sense antagonism nearby by a boss or even a coworker). How can I handle this internal concern? Thanks.
