What Searching for a Job Is Really Like
Hey, look at you—you just graduated (congrats)! Now it’s time to find a job (bummer). Sure, some of your fellow recent alumni already had jobs lined up, but those people are secretly robots designed to steal jobs from the debt-ridden college grads. Or so I’ve heard. Right now, you gotta focus on going all in on your job search. Not sure what finding a job will be like? It won’t be fun, that’s for sure.

When the application asks you to list “Reason for Leaving”
When you feel discriminated against because of something on your resume

when you see an email from an employer
when the email turns out to be a rejection email, because of course
When you parents ask you how the job search is going
