We all know that this is one of the truest struggles. All the applications, the refreshing, and the blanket emails. The cast of "Shameless" sums it up perfectly.

1. The Hopeful Start

When you first start out you're confident in yourself! You're confident in your ability to conquer that great big world out there and land the position of your dreams.

2. The Hunt

By this point, you're still rolling on the premise of making things happen. You know what you want and you're applying away. Anything and everything vague and specific. Cover letter is your middle name.

3. Starting to get a little crazy

This is the stage when you check your Linkedin more than your Snapchat. You're finally comfortable talking about yourself and it's not because you've heard "tell me about yourself" a thousand times.

4. Insecure

Once those interviews and options start rolling in any encouragement is the greatest encouragement. Someone could literally compliment the font on your résumé and you tear up because they noticed.

5. The Breakdown

Now we all know this stage. You're shook. You've emailed and called random people. You're watching the applications open and you're a professional at this point. You're convinced that the waiting game is used to weed out the weak.

6. The W

Finally, the words we're all hoping to hear. Insert your name over Fiona's and keep pressing on. You can do it, friends!
