Re: Hey I’m new
Hi @Lucy_21 welcome to the Mix. It's so great to have you on board with us here. I think you got a great mission and I think its really good that you are raising awareness of bullying and want to help others here too who may have gone through something similar. I hope you enjoy on here as well

Look forward to seeing you around on the boards,

Re: Taster session tomorrow
Hey @TheNightmare, I hear you. I can understand how past experiences would weigh on your expectations for this taster session, and that it's really frustrating to not be able to start work like you want. You're doing lots of things right to get that going - applying for roles and getting opportunities like this taster session can only happen because you're striving to reach that goal. I know it's hard to take the rejections, but it doesn't diminish your efforts so far - try not to be disheartened at your journey so far.
I know how much you want to get working, but try not to put too much pressure on yourself for this one taster session if that'll distract you from the taster session work. Don't worry about the outcome and implications, and focus on one stage at a time, and I'm sure you'll do great. We're cheering you on, let us know how you get on!

Re: Taster session tomorrow
It’s perfectly normal and natural to be a bit nervous especially when you haven’t been in the situation for a while. The best thing you can do is be confident and show them your potential. My mum once told me that even if you are nervous, try not to appear nervous. Confidence will do you a lot of favours.
