A couple of weeks ago, I took to Twitter to ask for some motivational job songs. The hashtag was #jobsongs and you had to reply to @career_geek. Now, I like music, and during my job hunt it kept me going from one day to the next. Although I survived listening to Eminem songs, as that’s what I like.
I had a few people reply to my request and I promised a mention in this article, so here it is 🙂
Let’s compile a playlist to motivate jobseekers all over. Drop us some recommendation! You will be mentioned in an article too! #jobsongs

First up was Rebecca, who also blogs for us regularly.
@Career_Geek Marina and the Diamonds- Are You Satisfied? #jobsongs

And of course, Rebecca beat me to my own game! I was second to reply… but I do love the song and think it will motivate you in any scenario.
@Career_Geek i would put “don’t stop believing” on that list of #jobsongs to motivate those in #jobhunt.

Next suggestion came from Janet, founder of the Careers Defender website. And what’s better than 1? Well, 2. Yep, 2 suggestions from Janet.
@freeman_faiz @Career_Geek Rise by Gabrielle and The Greatest by R Kelly are my 2 motivators

Finally, it was Brenda who submitted her suggestion, too. Oh and she has her own blog, too, which is worth a visit.

Well peeps, thanks for that. I am sure someone somewhere will find these songs useful and hey, I like building playlists, so this could just be the start of an open source playlist collation for motivational job hunt songs.
If you want to suggest a song, get a mention and add to the playlist , simply comment below or reply to the original tweet here.
Cheers for the mention! 🙂 Definitely going to keep all of these songs on a playlist to get pumped whilst I’m doing my grad applications… *groan* anything for a little bit of motivation!
