This is more of a rant than anything else
--------------------------------------
Application after application
GOD, the FRUSTRATION!
Argh, I can't deal with this anymore
Employment dates, Schools I attended
All for the bill-collector calling to end
I anxious sit at this computer, tapping my feet
Sign up to apply
Register for us to ignore your request
Even if you're the best for the job
Our computers say otherwise
And we won't tell you why
No...no chance. No personality
You can't come to meet us; that's so 1993
Who "meets" people anymore?
Technology helped humanity
To close the door
On meeting people personally
Yet...they say it's the best way
To cypher through the senseless and get to the best candidates
So you cut out the the bottom 80% of people
that don't answer questions right
But what if the right one was the one that would fight for it
Cuz his survival depends on the nights he spends
Working in lights so dim in your factory setting
Betting that his check won't be what he needs
To feed himself alongside those that look up to him
With bright eyes, smile lines
And soft, youthful arms & thighs
But yet, he's not the right one because
He doesn't have 10 years of work experience
Though he hasn't been legal for more than 4 of them!
Or he'd have been exactly what we wanted!
So I persist
And I admit
This shit makes me want to quit LIFE.
If it takes this much to get a job
Don't let me apply for health insurance!
Oh no, he's not had insurance since
He was dismissed from his mother's insurance!
Seeing that he hasn't had a job
And none of us will give him a chance!
Oh woe is he!
Poor of work-ethic if he
Has not pillaged since he was three!!
...bastards.
I might not have the paperwork to say that I'm more betterrrer-awesomer than that guy
But my work ethic and drive for going beyond the call of duty is HIGH
Very high.
But you won't know that, will you?
Cuz your program spits potentials by the few
So you don't have much work to do
Indeciding if she could fit in your crew
Or if that guy there could do what you need
for your industry to succeed while this world continues to recede
But I'm the right guy for your job.
All I can give you is my word.
My cover may be ragged, ripped or torn
But my story is TOO AMAZING to be missed.
