Today, I’m not here to share a new tech tutorial or a coding trick. Instead, I want to open up about something personal—a recent experience that didn’t go the way I hoped. It’s a story of failure, but also of growth, learning, and strength.

📉 The Rollercoaster of Job Hunting

For the past few months, I’ve been actively applying for jobs—consistently, persistently, and with hope in my heart. Last week, something unexpected happened: I received two job offers on the same day—one from Condlingo and another from Aptech. That was the happiest day for me! I felt secure, believing that if one didn’t work out, the other surely would.

📶 The Internet Glitch That Cost Me

My first interview was with Condlingo. I was well-prepared, excited, and ready to give my 100%. But life had other plans.

Right when it was my turn, my internet started acting up. To make matters worse, the electricity went out. I tried to stay calm, but eventually, the interviewer told me to disconnect. I messaged her afterward, requesting another chance, but I never got a reply. That silence hurt more than the disconnection.

🎤 My First Offline Interview – A Confidence Hit

I still had hope—Aptech was my second chance. I went for their in-person interview, which included both a verbal interview and a live presentation. The initial one-on-one session went well.

But when it came time to present in front of their team, something changed. My nerves took over. I felt underconfident. I forgot things I knew. I messed up. Walking out of there, I felt like I’d blown it.

🌱 But Here’s the Truth

I’ve realized that first times are rarely perfect. We all have those moments when things don’t go as planned, when life tests us hard. But we are not defined by one bad interview or one missed opportunity.

What matters is what we do next.

I’ve promised myself: I won’t beg for a second chance—I’ll become the version of myself that companies won’t want to miss next time. I’ll work on my weak areas, build my confidence, and keep learning.

❤️ To Anyone Who's Failing Right Now

Don’t give up. Every failure is a stepping stone, every setback a lesson. We’re all on a journey, and nobody succeeds without falling a few times first.

Fail. Feel. Learn. And then—rise stronger.

Do you also face a failure that hit you tell me in comments 🙃
