I performed mediocrely in an interview today for my dream job. Is there any way that I can save face? I didn’t bomb it but know that I didn’t do well, either

Might be worthwhile to send a follow up letter saying thank you for the opportunity. I’ve heard this helps.

Send the standard thank you email and leave it alone. Anything else will come off as desperate. You either hit a home run, got on base, or struck out. Nothing else you can do from the dugout.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected.

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

Any books/self help materials for someone who is constantly worrying (and waste a lot of unnecessary time)? E.g. No matter if i pass or fail an interview, there is always something to worry about. The worrying/anxiety multiplies when I proceeded further in the interview stages. Now that I signed the offer and is pending background checks, my anxiety is off the roof as it itches closer to my starting date.

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
