The Job that isn't a Job

It's a sad day when you know your job will one day be replaced by a simple stand. More so, it's a deadbeat day when you job is just to tell other people where to get jobs. You know, like an unsolicited careers adviser.

Anyways, apologies for the late post! This week has been unbelievably busy, and stressful might I add. In 2 - 3 weeks, I may not even have a job anymore! So, while I sympathize that the content here has been a little lackluster, finding time even for a simple post like this one is becoming increasingly challenging.

Near Hopeless

Like many things I've posted on this blog, this too happened to me a few years back. Great opportunities to network. No prior experience required. Free lunch and maybe coffee. I knew it was all too good to be true, but I tried anyway. Yes, even the first-year undergraduates who don't even know a quarter of the campus grounds can land these jobs more frequently than I could.

On another unrelated note, I think this is the first time I've posted a one-frame comic so far, but I guess it still constitutes as a legitimate comic in the abstract sense. Perhaps readers might be into really short comics?

An Unsolved Mystery

Would you be surprised to see someone you met at the careers fair suddenly turn up on the news in a missing persons report, with virtually no trace of their existence? That means you can finally be a useful contribution to society just by being at the right place at the right time with the right person on the right day!
After all, if my experience has anything to vouch for in terms of getting a job, that's more or less the crux of landing any job in the first place...

Thanks for Nothing

Frankly, I've always had a weird perception of post-interview thank-you notes. Maybe it's just me, but it always feels like you're directly telling the employer how desperate you are for work, that you're willing to kiss their feet and shine their shoes just for a lousy 2-month casual internship.
Some of you might think it's totally worth it for the experience, but at the end of the day, who really got the better end of this career stick? Answer: Probably not you.
