About

How's the Job Search Going? is a series of memes in which a screenshot of a YouTube video or other arguably time-wasting thing is shown underneath an iMessage notification from a person labeled "Dad" or "Mom," asking, "How's the job search going?" the implication being that the recipient of the text is not very dedicated to finding a job. The format first appeared as early as August 2020 on Reddit and garnered viral spread over the following years on sites like X and Instagram.
