Transcript

no bc how come no one showed me this before??? No, because how do I tell my parents that the only way to get a job is to literally apply to every single thing? I have been sat here on LinkedIn for ages now, literally applying non-stop. Apparently, there's this app where you literally just swipe to apply. So all you do is upload your resume and then it shows you recommended jobs based on your resume. And every time you swipe right, AI automatically applies for you directly on the company's website. Where has this been all my life?

this camera on thing is so freakin unnecessary omg #career #employment #corporat
