Your Job Search As Told By Bill Murray

Are you sick and tired of looking for a job? I don’t blame you, and chances are, you’re not alone. According to research from Indeed, 25 percent of jobs in the United States remain unfilled for more than two months. As the job search giant put it: “That’s the longest wait for the highest proportion of positions in any country in the world.”

Considering for job searchers, finding new work can feel like an eternity–and the fact that today is Groundhog’s Day–here’s your job search, from start to finish, as told by Bill Murray:
