Date: April 22nd, 2026 9:33 PM Author: costumed shrine The last time you were applying for jobs you freaked the fuck out over every little thing and acted like the world was ending. Then you landed on your feet and got a huge raise. If history is any teacher you will be just fine. Just calm your nerves. You are going to get a great job. Keep moving forward and you will be OK. Take a deep breath. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5859582&forum_id=2id.#49835910) |

Date: April 22nd, 2026 9:37 PM Author: misunderstood lemon locale Yeah. I guess my job application skills are underdeveloped since I'm a tenuremo and this is only my third time applying for jobs. And as you know, I got the first job I applied for right out of college. So I probably have the same amount of aggregate job application experience as a lot of 22yos. And I might be acting like one.
