You walk into work one day, and you’ve got the opportunity to become a supervisor.

It has all the benefits, and you have submitted your resume, which demonstrates that you’re more than qualified for the job.

You shake your managers’ hand and sit down while your supervisor checks over your resume and cover letter for this prestigious position.

They know you’re ready for it.

Even the CEO mentioned to you personally that he wants you to move up.

You feel admired beyond belief.

Suddenly, you start to feel uneasy; you begin to overthink and presume you’re an actor in someone else’s skin.

You worry you won’t be qualified for this job, and you start telling yourself that you’re going to let everyone down.

The hiring manager asks you a collection of questions that you have the answers to.

However, your responses feel fake as you disclose them to your superiors.

If you have found yourself in a similar situation, then you’re not alone.

And that this has happened to almost everyone who’s gone through a significant life event.
