    Looking for work is awful, I get that there’s a lot of things that an employer needs to know to make a decision but it’s the most anxiety inducing stage of the process. Working is fine but looking for work is many times worse.

      Having been on every side of this issue, I can agree 100% that our current state of employment/job-hunting is abysmal, and this has everything to do with the claws of capitalism just sinking into our very souls every day and clawing out anything and everything that isn’t the constant pursuit of wealth.

      It shouldn’t be this stressful to find a place where you can do something you don’t hate for 8 hours. But our very lives depend on it, healthcare attached to it, our social value hinging on saying you have a job. It’s really bad.
