While trying to decide what to do with your life there are always lots of people that try to help you. With good intentions they tell you how the world works and how you should look for vacancy’s and apply for jobs.

The thing is though, things change so quickly. So when I go to a how-to-get-a-job-workshop, and you tell me “.. The world is getting more digital. Applying for jobs is now normal via the internet”
Wow.

Also: the people at the university or high school or actually whoever is giving you advice on applying and jobs and shit, most of the time already worked for the same company for like 10 years. Asking “oh how did you find a job then” often results into “oh I didn’t apply, I just knew Judy from HR and got hired instantly”.

Thanks mate, solid advice, very much based on real life.
