Really set it and forget it
Even though you’ll do everything that is within your control to show up as your best self for your interview, Nyanue emphasizes the importance of knowing how much is not in your control. And for that reason, getting extremely attached to the idea of a job can set you up for heartache. Think of scenarios such as this one: you’re absolutely perfect for the job, they decide to hire you, and then, the entire department you would’ve worked in loses funding and the job disappears. There was literally nothing you could have done to have prevented that. That’s why Nyanue says, “Don’t fall in love with a job too much before you have an offer. Anything can happen to make what was once an opportunity no longer an opportunity.”
