Dating is a process. You meet a guy, you date for a while, and at some point, you decide if he’s worth pursuing. If he isn’t, you break it off. It stings for a while and you give yourself sometime to recover. Then, you meet another guy, begin the dating process again, and eventually it sticks.

 

Looking for a job is a lot like dating. You find a job you’re interested in, you “date” it by sending in your resume, and then if you get pulled in for an interview, you begin to form an attachment. If you don’t get the job, you feel much like you do when you get dumped – pretty crummy for a little while but then you pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start looking for another job to woo. Eventually, you and the right job will get into a relationship. You may choose marriage and stick with the job for a long time, or you might decide to hop around from relationship to relationship until you settle with the right position.

I stumbled across a video that perfectly describes the relationship between job hunting and dating. Hope you enjoy it!
