Social media: The pressure is on to do everything right!

FIV: Hi Soraya, glad it worked out with the interview. You have a great reach on social media. With that notoriety comes both positive and negative aspects. Among other things, criticism. How much pressure is there in the business to always be “perfect”? What’s the best way to deal with that?

Soraya: I’m lucky that I haven’t had to take so much criticism yet. Nevertheless, the pressure is very great to want to do everything right. That’s why your thoughts often revolve around your job, no matter when or where you are. You always have the feeling that you have to get better. But you should always try to be as relaxed as possible about it.
