I got an interview after 5 applications

It took 11 weeks, but I have a first interview on Wednesday. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. I have not been this excited in months. How do you stay calm?

Well done. Take a breath and remember they already liked what they read.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
