'The guy who pushed past me... just arrived for an interview with me': 20+ Memes for job candidates who can't figure out why they keep getting rejected

If you're struggling to land a new job, just consider: it could be going so much worse for you! 

No one ever said it'd be easy to get hired for a new job. Even when you're trying your very hardest, you might just not be the employee that the hiring manager is looking for. You may have to apply to hundreds of jobs before getting an interview, so then the pressure to perform well is on. When that interview arrives, you want to be at your very best. Lots of people will research the company, practice all the typical interview questions, and dress to the nines to try and score that job. 

While you're job hunting, take a look at some of the folks below who are most certainly not succeeding in their own job search. Maybe it'll make you feel better to laugh at other's misfortune! Plus, it's a nice guide on exactly what not to do: just look at some of the crazy messages people have sent to hiring managers and recruiters! 

After that, read about this act of mass malicious compliance done by about 60 workers who all decided to get back at their boss, embarrassing him in front of the company's CEO!

    Job application Inbox ☆ me After weeks of consideration we have decided to go with another candidate who is better suited to our needs at this time. It was noted during your interviews, you told both our recruiter and the hiring manager that "they wasted your time because they were late" and "you took time off from work just to hear a low ball offer and that we should have posted the salary range in the job description" We told you that we do this so people won't apply just for the money.

    Someone's got a LOT of confidence

    Facebook ll 9:02 AM 1056% Yes Could you send me a resume to d... that includes your work experience as an editor? Thanks!! No but you can hire me and see my performance since there is a 90-day probation phase. The application process is part of that 90-day probation phase, and if you can't follow simple instructions, I'm not sure this will work. I submitted so many resumes I'm not going to submit no more I know my performance and you guys are losing out if you don't hire me.
