The time of the year has come where college students must make a decision: start looking for jobs or plan to lay around on your parent's couch for the whole summer. The choice is essentially between being broke or being miserable at your part-time, minimum wage job.
Unfortunately for those graduating seniors, there isn't much of a choice. As you jump out of the little nest that is college, you are hit right in the face with the long, draining process of looking for a job. Here's what you have to look forward to, you real adult you.
You'll start off with confidence in your job searching ability...
But that soon comes to a screeching halt when you don't even know where to look for one.
So, while you’re figuring that one out, you revise your résumé and make sure it defines the person you really are.
Only to struggle with finding a reference that isn’t an old boss who you haven’t heard from in three years.
You finally resort to Google to search for non-descriptive things like "jobs for college grads" and "entry level positions."
As you scroll through listing after listing you slowly regret what you majored in because you feel under qualified for, well, just about everything.
After what seems like hours of searching, you finally come across a job that is perfect in your eyes, and you don’t even hesitate to apply.
The only thing you have to do now is wait for a response and resist the urge to check your inbox every hour.
You feel all hope is lost when you receive the unfortunate email saying you didn’t get the job.
But you refuse to give up and consider searching for the dreaded unpaid internships.
Out of frustration you start applying for every remotely decent job you come across in hopes of landing just one.
At last, the moment comes where you get a call from an unknown number, pick it up, and hear the sweet words "job offer."
You did it.
