The company I am interviewing with gave me an exercise to do that I must present involving providing two website recommendations for the site's content. They gave me an enormous spreadsheet of data to work with, so at first when I looked at the spreadsheet, I was like, I can't do this. I must cancel the interview. Then, when I dug into the data to try and understand it, I realized I CAN understand it and dissect it in order to do the task.
This just goes to show how much my confidence has been shot over the years, and I believe due to bullying and abusive bosses. I usually CAN figure out complex tasks IF I put my mind and effort into it. which I have proven to myself many times over. It makes me angry that these abusive bosses have effected my self esteem.
