New Year's New Revelation

I think a lot... sometimes I think too much. Well, here's a thought I think would be neat to share :) Comments and feedbacks are encouraged!

Parallels I found between the job hunting process & the dating experience:

• Blind dates = showing up to an interview not knowing a thing about the company or the job you're applying for
• Dates set up by a mutual friend = getting the job interview through a friend who already works in the company
• Dating your best friend = knowing the company's ins and outs, but only just now making a move to apply for a job there

On the flip-side:

• Employers want to hire individuals who are willing to learn and make a positive difference in the company = You want to be with someone who makes you a better person and vice versa. 
• Putting on a "front" with your coworkers to fit in the company culture = Not being your true self just to be with that person
• Overworked and underpaid = Dating someone who's hard-to-please and gives little or no appreciation of you and your time
