Selling Your Body
I'm in the job hunting process right now because I wanna have money to do things like travel, get butt facials and buy my panties at Victoria's Secret instead of Walmart. I realize that it's crucial for me to get another job in order to do these things, so I'm on the prowl.
For years I've told people my view on job hunting, 'Job hunting is prostitution!' When I tell people that they either laugh, give me some stink eye, or both. When they're done reacting, they always ask, "Why? Explain what you mean by that?"
It's really simple. First of all, as a job seeker, you have to dress up. This is where the exploitation begins. You're putting in the effort to sell yourself, i.e. your body, and you're hoping that it sells for the right price.
Next, you meet up with the interviewer in a private, publicly undisclosed location to discuss transactions. Upon initial introduction, he or she looks you up and down, figures out whether or not you're their style then asks, "What can you do for me?" and how much you charge for service. Now that is clearly prostitution plain and simple.
This form of prostitution is a grueling, time consuming process, but in the end no one climaxes. Unless you start having sex with your boss or co-workers. I don't have to job hunt; I just think I have too much time on my hands and I'd like to make some new sexy co-workers cause I do shit where I eat. It makes for wonderful stories at various social functions like with prospective employers at job fairs.

All wage labor is a form of prostitution, plain and simple. And I despise job hunting. It's a full time job in itself. And anymore, people want you to do all kinds of stupid shit just to apply for a job that may or may not yield an interview.

Can't agree more. I refuse to alter myself for job hunting.

No, I think you are hitting the whore on the head! You couldn't have said it better. I totally concur and I find job hunting very shameful because you lie, alter yourself and do whatever you can to get that cash! I would rather sell my chocolate star fish than put on a suit and sell my soul:)!!

Thank you!
If you only knew how watered down this post is because I guessed some people just wouldn't understand the humor.
I'm a fucking prostitute, baby! Job hunting is such a degrading experience. Am I being dramatic?
