Job searching is weird. 🀨

It can make us say weird things. πŸ€”

There’s not very much that’s linear, or logical, or fair about a job search. 🎒

Putting ourselves forward to be evaluated by strangers over and over and over again – it can be kind of awkward. 😬

Have you ever said or written any of these things during a job search?
1️⃣ Let’s get coffee β˜•
2️⃣ Just “checking in” πŸ‘€
3️⃣ Wanted to “circle back” πŸ”„
4️⃣ I really want to sell myself πŸ€–
5️⃣ “I think I’d be great for this job” πŸ’Ό
6️⃣ Want to make sure my stuff is “ATS Friendly” πŸ“„
