Taylor Swift’s Instagram Perfectly Sums Up the Job Search

In honor of the 1989 World Tour, WayUp brings you some job search solidarity from the one and only Taylor Swift.  Turns out, she doesn’t just get our love lives – she also knows a thing or two about career struggles.

When you first start the job search, and you’re like, “What am I doing? What is even happening?”

When it seems like employers are never going to call you about your application, and you’re like, “Are we out of the woods yet? Are we out of the woods yet?!”

When you try to take a break from applying to open positions…

And what you need is a job. Instagram.com: @taylorswift

When you realize the resume you just sent has a typo…

Everybody. Remain. Calm. 

When employers tells you they are impressed with your application.

You’re welcome, everyone.

When you find the perfect outfit for your next interview.

When your interviewer starts asking the tough questions…

When you just get out of an interview that was scheduled at the crack of dawn.

When the company that turned you down a month ago sends you an email to apply for another position.

When – as badly as you want a job – you have to turn down an offer that just doesn’t feel right.

When you get your dream job offer!
