Messed up Life

I am in IT industry from past 6 years though not really invested(mind) into it. I was preparing for civil services for 4 years couldn't crack it as other failed aspirants (yet learnt lot in life). From past 2 years learning to be IT professional but yet something is lacking in me to ace it. Now i wanted to switch company and grab new opportunities but fear of layoffs is holding me back to do that. And as i have more yoe but less knowledge compared to industry standards. Will i be able to crack it ? And take up new challenges in life ? Will i be able to go through interview process and be successful at it?

From someone who has 11 years of work experience and has given their fair share of interviews, all I would say is interviews are completely different thing from once you are inside the company. Interviews can be tough specially if you are interviewing after a long time or aren’t prepared. But the more interviews you give the more idea you will get about what is being asked in your area of experience. And more refined and well thought out your answers will become. Initial interviews can feel morale shattering but that’s okay. Use the questions asked in those interview to better prepare yourself. And once you are inside the company I don’t think you will have any issues given that you worked for 4 years in an IT company without really investing mind. All the best. You can surely achieve what you are looking for.
