First job interview after a year of figuring my shit out in the morning (hexbear.net)

Idk if yinz remember but I posted about a year ago that I quit my job and moved back in with my parents while I reassessed what I wanted to be doing. My last job was so bad that I thought I wanted to completely switch careers. I know the person that replaced me there is already gone lmao.

After getting an ADHD diagnosis, medication, and therapy, I realized that it would be stupid to walk away from all my experience at this point. Not to toot my own horn but I'm literally one of the best coffee roasters in the US and I have the credentials and awards and shit to back that up.

All that said, I have my first interview trying to get back into the industry in the morning. I can't really say I'm that nervous, it's more excitement to finally have clarity to move forward. The thing that really sucks is that because there are so few people that do what I do, a new job almost always involves a move, and this would be a move to a new state I've never been to.

I'm not sure what I wanted out of this post but thanks for being a great community for me to shitpost in.

Update: It went really well. They've interviewed a ton of people and I got a couple of "that's the best answer we've heard so far." They asked me "What's something you believe that most people don't?" and not wanting to get too spicy I went on about how I think all of the world records for oldest dog are fake which they also said was their favorite answer to that question so far lmao.
