Job Application Memes – The Real Horror of 2025

Forget Freddy Fazbear – the new final boss of the internet is… a job application form. These memes are taking over TikTok and Instagram with edits where the scary part isn’t a ghost or a monster – it’s a neatly typed PDF asking for your resume.

From horror game jumpscares to POV skits and anime clips: the moment someone is asked to get a job hits harder than any demon. It’s funny, it’s painful, and it’s way too relatable.

This trend perfectly captures Gen Z’s exhaustion with grind culture. Whether it’s used ironically or just to vent about late-stage capitalism – job application memes are becoming a creative way to scream “I’m not built for this.”

Which one would you rather face: a haunted house or a 9-to-5?
