If you're a senior in college (or sophomore or junior applying for internships), the one thing that has been taking over your life is job applications. The college workload alone is time-consuming; with job applications (which practically become a part-time job in themselves) thrown in, you're probably feel swamped. Luckily, you're not in this alone. All of us have to go through this grueling process. In order to procrastinate from my own job search, I have compiled 13 feelings you have when applying for jobs.
1. Trying to nail your handshake:
2. When you apply for an unpaid internship hoping they'll change their mind.
3. When you show up and realize it's a group interview:
4. When the interviewer doesn't laugh at your joke:
5. When an "entry-level" job requires two to four years of experience:
6. When the interviewer asks what your skills are:
Um... and I'm proficient with Microsoft Office.
7. Feeling super awkward during a phone interview:
At least on phone interviews they can't see you cringing at the lame comment you just made.
8. When you don't have enough experience:
9. When the interviewer asks about your five-year plan:
10. When the interviewer asks what you'd like for a salary:
"Uh... I mean $40,000."
