After months of applications, rejection, silence, and self-doubt… the phone finally rings.

Now what?

In this episode of Authentically Cyber, I sit down with Daniel Lowrie to talk about the reality of interviewing in today’s cybersecurity and tech job market. From handling nerves and rebuilding confidence to navigating difficult questions and standing out authentically, this is a real conversation about what happens after you finally get the call.

We also break down:

• What interviews feel like right now in cyber and tech
• Common mistakes candidates make
• How to respond when confidence has taken a hit
• Ways to prepare without sounding overly rehearsed
• The importance of authenticity, communication, and mindset
• How to handle rejection and keep moving forward

This isn’t about “perfect answers.”

It’s about learning how to show up again after setbacks and give yourself the best chance possible when opportunity finally arrives.
