Resumes are like online dating profiles for jobs. You spruce them up, highlight your best features, and hope nobody notices the gaps in your employment history. It's a bit like Photoshopping your life. I once saw a job posting that said, "Must be proficient in Microsoft Excel." I thought, "Well, I can make a mean spreadsheet on Google Sheets. Does that count?" It's like they're asking, "Can you tame the wild beast that is Excel, or are you more of a spreadsheet spectator?"
And then there's the skill section. They want you to be a superhero. "Must be fluent in three languages, have a black belt in karate, and be able to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded." I'm just sitting there like, "I can order food in three languages, I have a yellow belt in avoiding confrontation, and I can solve a Rubik's Cube by peeling off the stickers.

Job interviews are like interrogations, but with less bright lights and more uncomfortable silences. They ask questions like, "Where do you see yourself in five years?" I'm thinking, "I don't even know what I'm having for dinner tonight. Do you want me to predict the future? Maybe I'll have my own talk show by then, who knows?" And the classic, "What's your greatest weakness?" Like, seriously? I'm not going to sit here and confess my biggest flaw. "Well, sometimes I care too much, and I'm just too darn perfect." Why not ask about my strengths? "I can binge-watch a whole season of a TV show in one sitting. Hire me for my dedication!"
Then there's the dreaded question, "Tell me about yourself." I want to say, "I'm a complex individual with a love for snacks and a talent for finding the perfect meme for any situation. Can I start Monday?

Rejection letters are the breakup texts of the professional world. You pour your heart into the application, you think it's going well, and then they hit you with that, "It's not you; it's us" speech. "We regret to inform you that we've chosen someone whose favorite color aligns better with our office decor." I got a rejection letter once that said, "We've decided to go in a different direction." What direction? Left when I was clearly signaling right on my resume? Maybe I should have attached a compass to my application.
But hey, rejection is just redirection, right? I like to think of it as a cosmic sign that says, "There's something better out there for you." Or maybe it's a sign that I should invest in a crystal ball and start my own psychic hotline.
And that's the job application journey, my friends. A rollercoaster of hope, despair, and the occasional existential crisis. Cheers to the next application – may the odds be ever in my favor!

You ever notice how applying for a job feels like entering a secret society? I mean, I fill out these applications, and it's like I'm giving away my life story. They want to know everything! I'm waiting for them to ask for my kindergarten report card and a sample of my DNA. "Sure, I'll give you my blood type, just let me pay rent, please!" And don't get me started on the cover letter. It's basically a love letter to a company. "Dear Hiring Manager, roses are red, violets are blue, hire me, and I promise not to steal office supplies. P.S., I make a killer cup of coffee."
I recently applied for a job that required five years of experience, but it was an entry-level position. I was like, "Do you want me to time travel and get that experience for you? Maybe I should have started my career in the womb."
The worst part is the waiting game. You send your application into the void and hope for a response. It's like throwing a message in a bottle into the ocean, and the ocean replies, "Thank you for your application. We regret to inform you that we're going with someone who can juggle while reciting the periodic table.
