I have a degree but have been too afraid to go job hunting for fear I’m not good enough. Its been 3yrs since I’ve graduated and I still have the fear. Is or has anyone been in my shoes and what did you do to overcome your fear?

    You are going to have this fear regardless of what you do.
    Best way to get over it is to say to yourself I am the best.

    Sing Joe Esposito’s: Your the best!

    Im like that too apart from Im not clever enough to have a degree.If you have good intelligence I think you can afford to be confident.

    Look – if you’ve got a Degree you are intelligent and must be good enough for something else you would not have got a Degree. I got my qualifications in my 40s when I was old enough to be the parent of every other candidate. I told myself I would do my best and if I fell flat on my face I would try again. Your attitude would be very helpful if it was employed helping other people with the same problem – see? you are already good enough to help others.
