Job Hunting as an Alienating Ritual: A Review of 'Search Work' Anthology

The most haunting entry in Search Work: A Collective Inquiry into the Job Hunt, a recently published anthology edited by Rachel Meade Smith, is also the most vulnerable: a collection of emails between games journalist and author David Wolinsky and anyone who can possibly help him find work.

In the messages, Wolinsky is eager, kind, honest about his situation and what he's willing to do and, most importantly, open to opportunity, however it may present itself.

The tone and tenor of the missives will feel instantly familiar to readers who have ever found themselves in a similar position.
