Official Book Release Series

---

Writer. Survivor. Professional ghostee.
I’ve applied to over 300 jobs, been rejected by 298, ghosted by the other two, and somehow still have the emotional bandwidth to turn it all into comedy. That’s either resilience… or caffeine poisoning. Jury’s still out.

When I’m not rewriting my résumé for the 47th time, reorganizing my “applied” folder into categories like Maybe Someday, Definitely Ghosted, and Job I Only Applied To Out of Panic, I’m creating Interview Games—a brutally honest, chaotically funny, mildly unhinged series about what it really feels like to job hunt in the modern world.

I run on oat milk, LinkedIn rejection emails, passive-aggressive “follow-up” messages, and blind optimism. I’ve spent more time crafting cover letters than I have actually being employed. I’ve done the “fake smile during the Zoom interview” thing. I’ve nodded through the “culture fit” nonsense. And I’ve gotten real cozy with that cold, gray silence that happens after a recruiter says, “We’ll be in touch.”

But I’m not doing it alone.

I’m joined by Brad—an emotionally stable mouse who now handles most of the strategic decisions around here. He drinks more lattes than I do, has better instincts, and frankly, he’s the only one in this house who hasn’t spiral-applied to a job in supply chain logistics at 2 a.m. just for the serotonin hit.

Together, we built Interview Games not as a brand, but as a safe space. A place where people who are tired of job-search jargon, endless application portals, and soul-crushing “We’ve decided to go in another direction” emails can come to laugh, relate, and feel a little less alone.

We’re here to entertain you. To commiserate with you. To cry-laugh at the absurdity of it all with you. And maybe—just maybe—remind you that your worth was never tied to whether or not you made it to round four of a hiring process that required a slide deck, a blood sample, and a short essay on your five-year plan.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re applying to jobs in a dystopian escape room run by robots and ghosts...
Welcome. You’re home.

(The slightly unhinged foundation this operation stands on.)

At Interview Games, we believe in radical honesty—the kind that doesn’t get you hired but does get you followers. We say what most job seekers are thinking but are too afraid to put on LinkedIn. If it's awkward, uncomfortable, or straight-up ridiculous, you can bet we’re turning it into a plot twist and a punchline. We don't sugarcoat. We satire.

We also value transparency, though not in the corporate “open door policy” way that leads nowhere. We actually mean it. No ghosting, no vague updates, no “circling back.” If we disappear, it's not personal—it's because we accidentally deleted all our emails in a fit of résumé-induced rage.

Our creativity runs on caffeine, impulse decisions, and coping mechanisms disguised as comedy. There’s an oat milk shortage in this house, and Brad the mouse drinks half of it. Every post, story, and laugh comes from a place of truth—and probably a mild breakdown at 2 a.m. fueled by LinkedIn rejection emails and expired snacks.

We believe in resilience through rejection. Every “thanks but no thanks” makes us stronger, funnier, and more emotionally unstable in just the right way. Every rejection is a plot point. Every ignored résumé is another page in the script of this ongoing job search soap opera.

And most importantly, we believe in Brad. He’s not just a mouse. He’s our CFO (Chief Feelings Officer), our brand mascot, and the only one around here who hasn’t had an existential crisis about their career path. He’s everything we aspire to be: composed, caffeinated, and kind of unbothered.

At the end of the day, our mission is simple: take the soul-sucking absurdity of modern hiring... and turn it into something hilarious, relatable, and just unhinged enough to make people feel seen. Because if we’re all going to spiral professionally, we might as well do it together—with memes, lattes, and a mouse named Brad.

(We’ve seen things. Weird things.)

Our experience comes not from Ivy League degrees or Fortune 500 boardrooms—but from the trenches of the job market, where dreams go to die and résumés get ghosted. We’ve survived back-to-back interviews that felt like hostage negotiations, onboarding processes that lasted longer than some relationships, and panel interviews where three out of five people had their cameras off and their souls already retired.

We’ve been promised “amazing culture” and got Slack messages at 9 p.m. about synergy. We’ve prepped for hours only to hear, “We went with someone more internal.” We’ve met every type of hiring manager: the one who forgot we had a meeting, the one who asked us to solve a puzzle for a job in data entry, and of course, Karen—the HR rep who always says, “We’ll be in touch” with the same tone you use when blocking someone.

And through it all, we did what any emotionally caffeinated, slightly unhinged adult would do:
We turned it into content.

Our experience is lived, raw, and deeply relatable. We’ve been unemployed, underemployed, and over-interviewed. We’ve cried on Zoom, laughed during layoffs, and somehow made it funny. Because when the professional world feels like a game you weren’t given the rules for—sometimes the only winning move is to satirize it.

So no, we’re not “industry veterans.” We’re battle-tested applicants with trauma, talent, and a talking mouse. And honestly? That might just be more valuable.
