Hey everyone! Since we received an overwhelmingly positive response about our first bunch of Career (Con)Quest comics strips, we are here to share some more!
Do you remember Sam? Our adorable main protagonist—somewhat socially-awkward, yet smart electrical engineer—dreaming to escape the totally absurd workplace he’s currently at. Plus, we have his girlfriend Hanna—a lovely, but not particularly helpful HR pro, doling some occasional wisdom.
In this new batch, once again Sam’s dives deep into the dangerous, unpredictable, and sometimes just too real world of job search!
We hope you really like this Part II and check our website for more comics!

Is there some kind of rule that employees can't make more than their (immidiate?) manager(s)? I don't see what Jim's salary has anything to do with the ability to give raises to those under him. If it was framed as a budgetary restriction I could believe it.
This is when you design the most spectacular button the world has ever known.
And when you arrive with all the skills and all the boxes ticked, a perfect match in an industry begging for skilled employees. When even the media laments a lack of people wanting to do the job you find out that at 50 you are too old and that companies want a 25 year old with 15 years experience who is happy with a low wage sector paycheck.
"On paper we want someone like you! But in reality we just want a slave who we can control easily for minimal wage and can do the job just fine."

MY problem was looking for a job in my field everyone was looking for a BS or MS degree with 3-5 years experience, I have a PhD (which people assume means I want more money) but at the time only 1-2 years experience...
And one of the main problems with effectively everyone requiring a number of years of experience is how do the applicants get that experience in the place? They are essentially creating their own Catch-22 situation.
