Admit it — you’ve wasted hours of your life scrolling through pictures of adorable animals on the Internet. Some of those hours might even have been time you put aside for your job search. After all, who can resist the siren allure of a good kitten cam or a dog in a funny outfit? You’re only human.
Here’s the good news though: those adorable pets might just have taught you some valuable lessons you can apply to your job search. So the next time you find yourself watching the newest cat video, cut yourself a break. Maybe Whiskers can teach you a thing or two about scoring your dream job.
What exactly is it that can you learn from four-legged Internet superstars and apply to your job search? Here are a few lessons from our favorite fuzzy friends.

Be as Enthusiastic as Buttermilk

It can be easy to find yourself burnt out in the process of looking for a great new job. This is probably what drove you into the loving embrace of cat videos and pictures of dogs in Halloween costumes in the first place. But take a page from the playbook of one little goat, and inject your search with enthusiasm.
Buttermilk is a baby goat who has a whole lot of energy to spare. Sure, in the video, Buttermilk jumps all over her goat friends and knocks a few of them over. But this is just because they’re standing still and she has places to go.
In your job search, don’t be one of those goats standing still. Those goats don’t have their own Facebook pages. Instead, put your career passion on display! Don’t be afraid to show off just how excited you are about tackling new projects and learning new skills. Your enthusiasm just might catch the attention of a great employer.
