How a broken front tooth the day before a client interview did not ruin my chance.
"Something went wrong right before my interview. I almost backed out."
A moment of fear we all know
Let me tell you what happened to me. The day before my client interview, I had a dental accident. My front tooth was broken, cut in half. I felt shy. Of course I did. But I did not back out.
My mantra when I apply for a job is simple: give my best, and let God take care of the rest. So I managed my confidence, broken tooth and all, and I showed up. The show must go on. And the interview went well, because the part that mattered was already done. I had researched the client. My answers were ready. A broken tooth could change how I looked. It could not touch what I had prepared.
Preparation outlasts a bad day. The thing that wins an interview is not a perfect smile. It is showing the client you understand them. That was researched and ready before the tooth ever broke. Do the preparation, and one thing going wrong cannot undo you.
Hold steady, BFF Team. We keep going together.
