I applied for a competitive graduate scheme and got to the final round of interviews. The company initially rejected me after that (after taking a very long time to respond). A few months later, they unexpectedly called me to offer the job. At the time, I held a job offer with another company but rescinded it in order to accept this offer.
My colleagues on the scheme are incredibly clever and confident, and from what I can gather, were all offered the job straight away after the final round of interviews.
I have the normal impostor syndrome plus the feeling that I am ‘less’ than my colleagues because I was last pick. Everytime I am finding work difficult I can’t help but think, ‘this is why they didn’t choose you!’, ‘they’ll be wondering why they gave you a second chance!’
I’m trying to prove my worth, stop the negative self-talk, and recognise that it’s not exactly always a breeze for my colleagues either, but I’m finding it hard to not let it get to me.
Has anyone ever been in a similar situation or advise on how to feel better about it?
Thank you!
