Can you Express Yourself?

Next day rejected. But I actually expected a rejection even though it logically looked like success.

I am used to it. 

My purpose on the Dunya was not the career. 

But perhaps my behaviour and resilience throughout it.

Perhaps overconfident. Perhaps someone better. Perhaps I am not the their type. Perhaps hated for. Allah didn't allow this for me. That's fine I will carry on.

The struggle to get married

The struggle to get a job

The struggle to be normal

To build a bank balance

The dunya is the place of all test.

Why am I doing all this for when the ultimate interview needs the ultimate preparation for every breathing moment I am. I am choosing to do what will be for me and against me at the interview and meeting. 

Ultimately, it is Allah's mercy that I will need.

Before entering the interview I came across this verse:

43:52

أَمْ أَنَا۠ خَيْرٌۭ مِّنْ هَـٰذَا ٱلَّذِى هُوَ مَهِينٌۭ وَلَا يَكَادُ يُبِينُ ٥٢

Am I not better than this nobody who can hardly express himself?[1]

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran

[1] Moses used to have a speech impediment. But when he became a prophet he prayed to Allah to help him speak clearly, and his prayer was answered (see 20:25-36).

I read this and thought, Allah please make my speech clear in the interview. My opening sentences to a question were quite stumbly, but soon after almost immediately my answers became very clear, or so I thought. I tried my best. Made dua. Got rejected, oh well. Off to another position in the Dunya.
