There’s a supreme difference between “pursuing a career” and “looking for a job.”
Though they kind of mean the same thing, the former usually implies that you’re chasing your passions – trying to grab at something that’s going to bring you fulfillment and fun, and maybe change the world around you for the better.
The latter implies that you just need a way to make your landlord shut up.
Luckily, there’s memes to soothe the pain.

6. Basic needs
I got bills. You got bills. We all got bills.
Stop asking people why they want to work at your company! They need a job and you’re hiring! Let’s move tf on!! Nobody cares about the company “values” that y’all don’t even follow!

5. Gentle reminder
I’m not even sure how I’ve made it this far in life.
Applying for jobs is a great way to remind yourself that when you sit down and think about it, you actually have no quantifiable skills 🙂

4. My cup overflows
What blessings I have.
During my interview today i poured some water into a cup and it overflowed a little bit
“Nervous?” asked the interviewer
I simply replied, “No I just always give 110%”

2. Set apart
Let’s just be real about it.
Them: “And what would you say sets your apart from other people applying for this job?”
Me: “Hmm probably that they’re all more qualified and deserving of it than I am?”
