Job search playlist

I believe we 40+ should all help each other through these difficult times. And that’s why I’ve compiled this playlist for every part of the job seeking process.

Playlist for when you get laid off:

This is happening a lot right now. And there’s nothing that can make the whole experience less sucky.

Time to say goodbye.

Where is the love?

Don’t be cruel.

The End – The Doors

Cold as ice - Foreigner

It’s the end of the world as we know it.

Do you really want to hurt me.

Playlist for what you say about the fucker who laid you off.

You’re angry, you’re hurt. You thought you and your boss had a connection. But now he’s tossed you away and you are fucking furious.

Loser - Beck

I hate you so much right now - Kelis

Bad guy – Billie Eilish

Fuck you very very much. Lily Allen

Asshole-Dennis Leary

Playlist for when you hit the booze or the pills because you’ve been laid off.

We all hit this phase. It’s when self-pity reaches high tide and we are incapable of being productive. So instead we become destructive. Well self-destructive is perhaps a more accurate term.

Comfortably numb.

Red red wine.

I wanna be sedated

I want a new drug

Gin and juice

Rehab

Playlist to help your friends comfort you.

Lean on me.
