Because they didn't work hard while working!

That's really good creative writing and really bad LinkedIn posting.

It would be good creative writing if you couldn't feel the vast corporate void behind these words

No no no, that’s what gives flavor to the text!

Eh... if this were written in high school it'd be promising. In college, not a bad first draft. In grad school, if this is the result of several revisions then you're definitely not top of the class.

I would consider it excellent linkedin posting!

It’s not even good creative writing either, it’s just nice sounding words devoid of actual meaningful substance.

Is this fucktard trying to imply it's the dude's fault for not having a job after 3 months? I don't have ajob after 20 months not because I don't have skills to do the job. I cannot express myself as easily. Still I am taking the L. I don't have any choice. Our society isn't exactly built on understanding.

@[email protected]’s wife didn’t look back as she left him sitting alone in their - his - bedroom. If only he had used Indeed to match employers with quality candidates.

Lol. I am glad to not have a wife or gf. It would be hell on everyone involved. Having borderline personality disorder sucks that bad.

That guy's name? Tom Bombadil. He was left behind when hobbits revolutionised frolicking and not giving a shit about anything.
