A fun thing that every millennial can relate to is having trouble getting hired after college ᴬᶰᵈ ˢᵉᶜʳᵉᵗᶫʸ ᵇᵉᶦᶰᵍ ᶜᵒᶰᵗʳᵒᶫᶫᵉᵈ ᵇʸ ᵗʰᵉ ᶦᶫᶫᵘᵐᶦᶰᵃᵗᶦ ᵗʰʳᵒᵘᵍʰ ᵖᵒᵖ ᵐᵘˢᶦᶜ⋅ I’ve applied to a few salaried jobs in the past couple of years. Actually receiving a rejection letter is pretty cool because then you can have closure and come up with reasons why the job wouldn’t have been good anyway. And who needs dental and vision insurance? I am over having teeth and I can probably get over my need for glasses and contacts because I hate looking at things, people, and especially myself.
What do you do with all the rejection letters though? Take lemons and make lemonade!
I took the bad news email from potential employers and made it into my latest art piece. I call it “all the rejection letters I’ve gotten this year”:
if you would like a signed print, prices are negotiable. Comment with your fave place to cry about the vapid nature of our society and be entered win a date with my dog
kick me off the computer
My favorite place to cry is in the public lobby of the places which have rejected me — weeks to months later for best effect. This makes them feel bad for something, (though they can’t identify what, so there’s a fun “reader response” angle) and also double check that you don’t have guns!
