11 Responses to “How’s the Job Search Going?”

Class of 2015, congrats on getting your college degree, and welcome to the real world! Whether you’re trying to get an interview or you don’t even know where to begin your job search, we know that sometimes those well-meaning questions from parents and family friends can be annoying…to the point where you openly side eye anyone who cheerily asks, “So, how’s the job search going?”

We feel your frustration – everyone should be celebrating your achievements, not causing you to stress about your next steps! That’s why we’ve come up with a few responses we WISH we could have voiced to put an end to all those job search questions.

Jokes aside, we all know the best response to questions about your search: “I’m a candidate on the largest online marketplace for students and recent grads to find part-time work and full-time jobs after graduation. Have you heard of WayUp?” Hang in there, 2015 – and remember, we’ve got you covered.
