As the great Majid Al Maskati once said, "Summer is over, simple and plain." Almost. The period before summer and fall is reserved for scrambling for employment, either to cover $2.75 subway trips or so that you can finally remove your high school experiences from your CV. To all those embarking on this wonderful journey, happy Fall 2016 job search, and may the odds be ever in your favour!

When you start looking for jobs in August but Fall 2016 deadlines were in July

What? Wait? How?

When you find the perfect job, but the description ends with "Applicants must be US Citizens"

Now that’s just mean.

Attempting to write a cover letter with no work experience

Realizing that you're last job was in 2013 when you were a babysitter for a summer. Great.

When the minimum GPA required is 2.5

It’s lit at the night show.

Hitting up professors for letters of recommendation

"Hi! Remember me?! You taught me first semester! Freshman year! How have you been?!"

How you show up to the job interview

You know it’s braids and dashikis once the job starts, right?

"We just wanted to clarify that it's unpaid."

I'm actually kidding about this because I'm on a visa and I technically can't get paid. But I feel your pain!

When they ask you if you can work weekends

*Insert long and awkward pause*

Leaving the interview and you know that you killed it

I'm in it.

When it's been 2 weeks and you haven't gotten a single response

WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG?????

How you check your emails every morning

No new messages from employers. 10 new messages from Seamless.

Getting offered the job you didn't really want

"How long until I can get back to you?"

When you FINALLY get the internship that you wanted

Things work themselves out sometimes :)

When the whole squad is poised and ready for the future
