job interview

Job interviews can feel pretty absurd, especially after you've answered the same questions for every position you've ever applied for. What are your biggest strengths and weaknesses? Where do you see yourself in five years? Describe yourself in three words. Don't you ever wish that you could say something totally insane just to spice things up a bit? It would even be interesting to see someone be brutally honest. Why do you want to work here? Well, there's this thing called rent, you see, and I need to pay it.

We've got some ridiculous memes depicting far-fetched job interview scenarios that poke fun at a grueling process we've all had to endure. Perhaps these memes will give you some ideas for your next Zoom interview.

Job hunting can be incredibly demoralizing. If you never hear back from your interviewers, you're left with a terrible feeling of depression and low self-esteem. If you get the position?

These memes really sum up the frustration and feelings of putting yourself out there, again and again, just to bend over for the man. 

"So, why do you want this job?" Can we talk about how unbelievably stupid that question is? Why do you think I want this job, Lauren in HR? Because most of us have to pay the bills in order to live! If only we could all just be honest with each other at job interviews and leave behind all the BS!
