16 Funny, Relatable Tweets About The Struggle Of Applying For A Job

If you’ve ever spent time applying for a job, then you know that it can be its own kind of draining full-time work.

From writing cover letters to filling out exhaustively repetitive online forms, applying for jobs can be tiring and demoralizing. Luckily, people on Twitter are poking fun at the whole process.

Here are some of the best tweets about the time and energy lost while job hunting:
