The Struggle Of Finding A Job

♫ Work, Work, Work, Work, Work ♫, unless you don't have a job that is. This is for the LA Rotational Fellowship.

Whether you’ve just graduated, are currently looking for summer employment, or have just been let go from your 9-5, the struggle of finding a job is too real...

It’s hard enough to function as an everyday human begin, but being a jobless human being adds an extra layer of difficulty. Here are some of the WORST struggles to finding a job:

1. Jobs have SUPER unrealistic qualifications.

MTV

Just got your degree? Amazing! Now all you need is 5+ years of experience, knowledge of how to use every software imaginable, and be willing to work 24/7.

2. People will remind you that your unemployed.

FX

Your friends and family mean well, but the subtle hints of “have you applied today?”, “I know someone in your field let me put you in touch!”, and the “Walmart is hiring cashiers!” can get a tad overbearing.

3. You’ll get asked “What do you do for a living?”

FOX

When you have a job practically no one will ask, but when you don’t have a job the whole world will ask. Essentially your only option to respond varies from “I’m on the job hunt” or “I’m a free spirit”.

4. You won't know what to do with your time.

Universal Pictures

No job? No problem! You can read that book you’ve been meaning to read, you can travel, you can see all your old friends... That is until you need a stable source of income.

5. Everyone’s competition when you're on the job hunt.

FOX

Companies get so many applications, how can you stand out from the rest? Do you send them a video? Do you hand them your resume in the form of a cake? Or do you just cry and hope they pick you?

6. Networking is SOO awkward.

Comedy Central

Not only do you have to practice the act of talking highly about yourself without sounding too cocky. But you also have to do this while holding a glass of wine in your hand.

7. Asking someone to be your reference is a dreadful experience.

E!

Having to ask old bosses to be your reference is a tricky task. Do they still like you after you left? Guess you’ll only find out if they help you land the job.

8. Job Interviews feel like Tinder Dates

Comedy Central

What other situation do you only have 10 minutes to prove to someone you're worth their time? Job interviews and Tinder Date are basically the same thing!

9. The struggle is too real. TRUST US, we get it! If you’re on the job hunt we salute you. YOU CAN MAKE IT OUT OF THIS DARK PLACE!
