I’ve never been hunting, but if it’s anything like job hunting, I can only assume that it’s incredibly tedious, repetitive, and that you find yourself often going to great lengths to kill animals you don’t actually even want to eat.
Job hunting can be frustrating. The whole market can be frustrating. Good thing we have tweets like this with which we can commiserate.
10. The most important meal of the day
If you have those here I will be a loyal employee for all time. I will die for this company, mark my words.

I’d say my biggest weakness is breakfast tacos

9. High bar
“If you enjoy a miserable existence, this is the place for you, ya weird masochist.”
i hate applying for jobs because the employers are always like: do you enjoy working in a stressful environment???? do you strive for unobtainable standards of perfection???? are you good at dealing with people that make you feel extremely uncomfortable???

8. The resume
And then also type out a cover letter which essentially says the same stuff.

5. Mad skills
But, college comedies assured me this was vital and important.
Me: *At a Job interview*
Interviewer:
Being able to take off a 6 hook bra with one hand is not a skill.

1. Might get lucky
If this gig doesn’t work out, no worries, I’ve got a one in a hundred million chance of something to fall back on.
I show up to job interviews with dozens of scratch-off lottery tickets stuffed in my shirt pocket. Lets them know I don’t need the job.

Jobs. Can’t live with ’em, literally can’t live without ’em. Best of luck to anybody out there on the hunt right now!
