“In spite of being happy with my job now, I’m constantly scared of being fired as I was laid off in lockdown.”
“I used to hate being billed out at an agency because I didn’t think I was worth what was being charged for me.”
“I recently joined a networking group with my new business. Everyone else was talking confidently about what they do, and I felt embarrassed that they would realise that I only had two clients and had only been doing this for a very short time.”
These are genuine replies to the question “Have you ever felt like an imposter?” which I posed during a webinar last week. The webinar in question was hosted by recruitment company Ten2Two and was entitled “Overcoming Imposter Syndrome – finding confidence when looking for work.” They had around 700 registrations which shows that no-one is alone in having imposter feelings or thoughts.
