Job Hunting 101

for the thinking person attempting to conqueor the stack of applications
To get you motivated, tune in the intellectual brainwaves, and keep you rollin.

Open Happiness - Brendon Urie, Patrick Stump, Travis McCoy, Cee-Lo, Jeanelle Monae

C'mon and lift me up it's a brand new day/Open up a little happiness today/So I can be someone new
To get you inspired and ready to go. You are gonna rock these apps \O/

Blackbird - The Beatles

All your life/You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Set the mood.

Breathe - Anberlin

I can finally breathe/Suddenly alive/I can finally move/'Cause I realize
Motivation is key.

The Shining - Badly Drawn Boy

Soleil all over you/warm sun pours over me
Nice and mellow, to work to and keep the mood easy.

Everything is Alright - Motion City Soundtrack

Tell me that you're alright/Yeah everything is alright
No matter what happens, it's gonna be alright, yeah.

Postcards From Italy - Beirut

We put our feet just where they had/Had to go
To turn on those thinking skills!

The Monitor - Bishop Allen

And none of them knew/Oh, none of them cared/How much it just changed right then and right there/They just carried on, carried on, carried on
Intellectual songs about history are always good to listen to when you want to sound smart.

Balcony - James Newton Howard

~Instrumental~
Hope.

Viva la Vida - Coldplay

Just a puppet on a lonely string/Oh who would ever want to be king?
More history! Also, your potential job doesn't involve beheading, so, consider the future bright *nods*

Hum Hallelujah - Fall Out Boy

So hum hallelujah/Just off the key of reason
Something a little more rock-y to keep you rolling. And Pete Wentz's lyrics will never not be for thinking people.

Working Class Hero - Green Day

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years/Then they expect you to pick a career/When you can't really function you're so full of fear
Impress thim with your knowledge of social issues! All while jamming to John Lenon's words in Billy Joe's voice.

Powerless (Say What You Want) - Nelly Furtado

Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
Remember why you want these jobs. It's about you!

Testing the Proof - Stephen Warbeck

~Instrumental~
The ultimate working music. You may not be writing a world-revolutionizing proof, but it'll be a masterpiece all the same.

Sober - Kelly Clarkson

And I don't know/I could crash and burn but maybe/At the end of this road I might catch a glimpse of me
Because, yeah, you gotta put yourself out there, but. You can do it girl!

Laugh - Lisa Donnelly

Breathe in when you're feeling down/Speak softly, but stand tall/And laugh at it all
Remember to keep it in perspective and don't be afraid to laugh.

Blow Me Away - Breaking Benjamin

After the fall/We'll shake it off/Show me the way
Don't let those disappointments get you down! You can do it!

That Green Gentlemen (Things Have Changed) - Panic at the Disco

Things have changed for me/But that's okay
Times of change can be awesome. Don't stress too much.

Myriad Harbour - The New Pornographers

Look out upon the Myriad Harbour
This one is all about the feel.

Two Birds - Regina Spektor

But one's never going to let goof that wire
Don't be afraid.

Hallelujah - Rufus Wainwright

it's not a cry that you hear at night/it's not somebody who's seen the light/it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
To work to.

Defiance - The Young Veins

I fell in love again/With defiance
Yeahhh...

Breathe (2 am) - Anna Nalick

Breathe, just breathe
Remember to take a minute to chill and relax.
