How to avoid imposter syndrome in your job

Congratulations! You landed the job you’ve been waiting for — the one with more responsibilities, leadership opportunities and perhaps even a bigger paycheck. So, why do you have this nagging feeling that you may not be qualified or deserve this job?

That’s something called “imposter syndrome” — a phenomenon that occurs when we feel like our successes are undeserved.

Avoiding this feeling can be difficult, but here are a few tips to ease your concerns:

1. Identify the thing that’s killing your confidence.
2. Talk to a mentor for some advice on the situation.
3. Celebrate and remind yourself of all your accolades and accomplishments.
