Story byMira W.
They said I wasn't qualified. I visualized shaking the CEO's hand. Today was my first day as Director.
I applied for a Director role that required 10 years of experience. I had 4. Everyone told me not to bother. Every night before sleep, I visualized the interview, shaking the CEO's hand, and hearing 'You're hired'. I focused on the feeling of gratitude. The interview went perfectly. They said they loved my vision more than any other candidate's experience. I started today.
