Western songs that give you courage for job hunting: iconic and popular tracks from around the world

When it comes to job-hunting songs, I get the impression that many Japanese tracks deliver heartfelt messages straight to the point, but this time I’d like to introduce some Western motivational songs.

Even if you don’t understand the lyrics, their energetic sound will lift your spirits.

You may feel anxious about the unknown experiences ahead and the challenge of entering society, but hang in there—you’ve got this.
