The presented article aims to introduce a series of questions that derive from a context in which “we are what we work” because labour has become the articulating centre of life, the scale of what we are worth; what are the forces at play to keep us perpetuating these ways of life?; why are we still trapped in the ideal of a stable job as the good life? Through an auto-ethnographic artistic research into the fictions we construct of ourselves in the processes of job applications, I try to understand how and why we remain trapped in a reality that prevents us from thriving.
