I (F) work in a niche industry with only a couple of years of experience so far. My dad also happens to work in an adjacent field so he kinda introduced me to one of his old colleagues for a job interview. I'm looking to change my current position.
I am an introvert and socially anxious and interviews have been quite awful experiences in the past. However this interview, though not absolutely great, was a lot better than before. I didn't stammer, blank out and responded to all the questions. However, after the the interview the person reached out to my dad and commented that he found me 'naive'.
It may not be a bad comment per se but I genuinely don't like when people describe me this way. I've anyways felt like I've been a bit behind people my age and people picking up on it feeds it. What should I do?
