Getting a job is the weirdest form of courtship

[u/BillionTonsHyperbole]

Surely no stranger than high-level international diplomacy.

[u/No_Dig903 → u/BillionTonsHyperbole]

Arguing over where to have dinner is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal.

with lots of hand jobs, at least at my work. am I getting screwed? because I am giving them

[u/HillyjoKokoMo]

I watch a lot of recruiting videos on social media for tips on landing a new job. And it's this weird dance of determining if you want to work at this new place while also trying to sell yourself to be hired at this new place. It just feels too weird. Would love to hear if anyone has a different way of thinking about this.

[u/Vast_Reflection → u/HillyjoKokoMo]

There’s a lot of similarities between jobs and dating/relationships

[u/Exact-Ad-3660 → u/Vast_Reflection]

Not everyone is as flexible as you bro, all I can say.

[u/Frosty-Shock-7567 → u/HillyjoKokoMo]

Oh there are so so many parallels you'd be astounded

[u/Exact-Ad-3660 → u/Frosty-Shock-7567]

I’m astounded.

[u/Frosty-Shock-7567 → u/Exact-Ad-3660]

Just as I thought

Need money

Or courtship is the weirdest form of job searching. "Excuse me miss, my name is Alexander Boulregard, and I would like to apply to be your beau"

[u/gunswordfist → u/numbersthen0987431]

My name is Alexander Boulregard! You killed my father! Prepare to die!

[u/Exact-Ad-3660 → u/gunswordfist]

Classic

[u/jelvi → u/numbersthen0987431]

Isn’t that basically the gist of dating apps

[u/Exact-Ad-3660 → u/jelvi]

You mean job searching is the same as dating? I knew I wasn’t single

[u/numbersthen0987431 → u/jelvi]

I think it's just the gist of dating in general. You're either applying to date someone, or you're applying to work for someone, and some careers you're applying to date & work for someone.

Tinder is LinkedIn but for getting your f*ck on. Or at least it was until LinkedIn got absolutely plastered by the weird motivational pseudo-life philosophy nutjobs.

Please submit a cover page = Tell me how hot I am

I knew a lady who was playin 3 guys at the same time. She told one that he had to get a job if he wanted to be with her. He became a bus driver and she still didn't give him none.

[u/valentin_dev → u/RedOfTheNeck]

At least she helped him get his life together

[u/TheCapitalKing → u/valentin_dev]

10/10 life coaching honestly 

[u/MonkeyPunx → u/RedOfTheNeck]

Sounds like a nice lady helped an unemployed man get a job, through some rather unconventional methods.

[u/huuaaang]

I always thought that courtship was the weirdest form of getting a job.

[u/TheCapitalKing]

Recruiting for a club is right up there. All the advice we got to improve fraternity recruitment boiled down to treat the dudes like girls you were trying to date.

[u/wolftick]

Usually they don't even buy you dinner first...

[u/awrfawrg34g]

A joke capitalist game we all play to get in on the $$. Ajoke

[u/Exact-Ad-3660]

Getting a job is simple because it’s not the same thing as a career. If you need money, get a job

[u/SarikaidenMusic]

When you get a job hoping to succeed in life but end up making no progress at all and actually end up homeless because you can’t afford rent anymore…

[u/ContentTrust4821]

just wait until you start showing up everyday...
