It’s Just a Job

short film, montage editing

The protagonist, a recent postgraduate, has just secured a promising corporate job. However, their

relief is short-lived when they receive an unexpected email notifying them of their termination. Thrust

back into the competitive job market, they must navigate the grueling process of reapplying and facing

constant rejection. The film follows their journey over the following months, capturing the harsh

realities of job hunting and the uncertainty of entering the working world after finishing school.

As the protagonist struggles to find a new direction, the film explores the vulnerability of being young

and unsure about one’s future. Eventually, they secure an in-person interview. Dressed up and ready to

prove themselves, they head to the office, but on the way, they’re struck by a car. In an instant, the

stress of getting a job fades into insignificance.
