Job hunting is brutal. It is just brutal. It's worse depending on your field, of course, but there are universal horrors experienced by everyone who has ever gone on a mad, frantic hunt for a new job – or even a slower, more leisurely paced one. Haha, joke, is there such a thing? BUT SERIOUSLY, FOLKS. Allow me to bond with you, and vent about all the feels we experienced when we're trying to find a new place to work ASAP. ## 1. You Start out so Determined ![You Start out so Determined](https://img.allw.mn/content/e8/uf/pixfafee56fad417e60f4058588510_500x274.gif) You're so ready. You want a new job so bad. You're going to rock this job search. Everything good will happen to you. ## 2. You're an Eager Little Shark ![You're an Eager Little Shark](https://img.allw.mn/content/ut/xt/xccuem7p56fad4143d0a7875312497_500x264.gif) You probably make this face. This is your shark smile. You're eager and hungry and ready. ## 3. You Feel Tremendous Confidence in Yourself ![You Feel Tremendous Confidence in Yourself](https://img.allw.mn/content/xx/p1/yqunyr1e56fad414b5e47643230699_500x266.gif) Everyone you approach will instantly want to hire you. They will be so charmed by your introductory email that they will not even need to read your gorgeous, impeccable resume that cost you $2.99. ## 4. You're Excited about All the Possibilities ![You're Excited about All the Possibilities](https://img.allw.mn/content/xx/ti/vxxovx1n56fad414a3d6b824016311_500x250.gif) So many jobs, so many positions, so many opportunities – and they're all just waiting for you to pluck them like ripe fruit! ## 5. You're so Wide-eyed and Hopeful ![You're so Wide-eyed and Hopeful](https://img.allw.mn/content/p2/c5/svfswkgv56fad414c0fd0973455730_500x250.gif) You know, you just know that there's something else out there for you, something new and different and fulfilling. ## 6. But then the Anxiety Comes ![But then the Anxiety Comes](https://img.allw.mn/content/lh/bd/eyf5dpyz56fad4153f85c168690183_500x272.gif) How come no one's getting back to you? Is your email working? Maybe Gmail's down. Maybe your internet isn't working. That must be it. ## 7. And It's Quickly Followed by Insecurity ![And It's Quickly Followed by Insecurity](https://img.allw.mn/content/j0/uu/bya6lmxf56fad415302be864108745_500x264.gif) What if you're not as awesome as you think you are? What if you're destined to remain in the dead-end job that's currently sucking the soul out of your body? ## 8. Self-doubt Comes Soon after ![Self-doubt Comes Soon after](https://img.allw.mn/content/z4/u9/ccf1r1rd56fad41631708526117932_500x250.gif) Yup. You suck. No one is ever going to hire you. You will remain stuck where you are until they sack you. ## 9. Then You Hit the Denial Stage ![Then You Hit the Denial Stage](https://img.allw.mn/content/w3/zz/tyawumi556fad415b1eb5398939372_500x278.gif) Denial. IT'S NOT JUST A RIVER IN EGYPT ANYMORE. ## 10. You Become Irrationally Angry ![You Become Irrationally Angry](https://img.allw.mn/content/ny/as/rzlbms6856fad416b3662023448122_500x266.gif) You're angry at everyone. Your current employer, yourself, everyone you reached out to, and even the employers and hiring managers you haven't reached out to yet. ## 11. Now You're Drowning in Disappointment ![Now You're Drowning in Disappointment](https://img.allw.mn/content/at/wd/htz6m27d56fad418518fa400979055_500x249.gif) What went wrong? What happened? What did you do? What could you do better? ## 12. Which Soon Leads to Wallowing ![Which Soon Leads to Wallowing](https://img.allw.mn/content/b8/e5/vonhr4mc56fad41701c40788191017_500x275.gif) ## 13. You Start Thinking about Therapy ![You Start Thinking about Therapy](https://img.allw.mn/content/oy/v8/yrsm48rq56fad4183a731170927883_500x269.gif) There is obviously something wrong with you, after all. You are broken and awful and no one wants to employ you. Therapy is so expensive, though, and you won't even have insurance until you get a new damn job … ## 14. … so You Pick Wine Instead ![… so You Pick Wine Instead](https://img.allw.mn/content/nf/lt/votjqs3956fad4172d8ae600453824_500x278.gif) Wine will hire you. ## 15.

No one wants to work with you. Being unmotivated is infinitely easier. ## 16. So You Start Cyber-stalking Everywhere You Applied ![So You Start Cyber-stalking Everywhere You Applied](https://img.allw.mn/content/me/qd/l70y0tsv56fad4180f8ab816924027_500x284.gif) Why? So you can pinpoint all the ways they suck, of course, and convince yourself of how much better off you are. ## 17. And Convince Yourself That You Will Find Something ![And Convince Yourself That You Will Find Something](https://img.allw.mn/content/ls/yt/exfjvun456fad417e6353285756964_500x236.gif) And you will. The right job is waiting for you, no matter how dark your prospects seem right now. We are not unemployable, damn it! There's always tomorrow. Oh, god … there's always tomorrow. ## Related Posts - [You Need to Stop These Behaviors to Be a Better Em...](https://money.allwomenstalk.com/stop-doing-these-things-at-work-if-you-want-to-be-a-better-employee/) - [Anyone Looking for a Job Will Laugh at These 7 Twe...](https://money.allwomenstalk.com/anyone-looking-for-a-job-will-laugh-at-these-tweets/) - [7 Things to Prevent Office Bod for Those Who Are W...](https://weightloss.allwomenstalk.com/things-to-prevent-office-bod-for-those-who-are-working-at-a-desk/) - [Search Techniques for Anyone on the Job Hunt ...](https://money.allwomenstalk.com/search-techniques-everyone-whos-looking-for-a-job-should-try/) - [onelife fitness front desk salary](https://fitness.allwomenstalk.com/how-to-redefine-your-desk-job-to-keep-active/) - [All the Things to Know before You Take Your First...](https://money.allwomenstalk.com/what-you-should-know-before-your-start-your-first-job/) - [8 Tips for Job Hunters and Interviews ...](https://money.allwomenstalk.com/tips-for-job-hunters-and-interviews/) - [LinkedIn Tips All New Grads Need to Remember for P...](https://money.allwomenstalk.com/this-is-how-new-grads-can-make-the-most-of-linkedin/) - [10 Interview Techniques Ambitious Girls Can Use to...](https://money.allwomenstalk.com/interview-techniques-ambitious-girls-can-use-to-land-their-dream-job/) - [loreal paris color stylo infinite sky](https://lifestyle.allwomenstalk.com/hard-truths-that-hit-you-when-youre-unemployed/) - [10 Tips on Finding a Job ...](https://allwomenstalk.com/10-tips-on-finding-a-job/) - [7 Lessons to Learn from Losing Your Job ...](https://allwomenstalk.com/7-lessons-to-learn-from-losing-your-job/) ## Site Information - [Main page](https://allwomenstalk.com) - [Contact us](https://allwomenstalk.com/contact.html) - [HTML article](https://funny.allwomenstalk.com/feelings-youll-have-when-on-a-job-hunt/)
