Stages of Applying for Jobs

This article goes out to all of the Pepperdine Seniors, here is the struggle of trying to find a job post grad portrayed through GIFS, enjoy!

Going on linked in and being overwhelmed at how many jobs there are, I thought it was hard enough picking a major, now I have to choose a job title?

Not feeling like you have enough experience for anything: entry level job which requires 3 years in the field.. Um what?

Finally finding that dream job you’ve always wanted and start immediately picturing yourself as the next Anna Wintour

Submit your application with a big exhale so nervous about what the future holds

Aggressively refreshing your job portal hoping it will change from submitted to action required

Not telling anyone what job you applied to so you don’t jinx it

Freaking out that maybe things won’t workout and then realizing you might have to take a job you hate and get stuck there

Realize you were worried for nothing when you get the coveted, “you’ve been invited for an interview” email. Hey, at least we made it this far.
