The Employment Interview

The Employment Interview By Elton Camp Frank is convinced that he is the best To him don’t apply rules for the rest A suit and tie there is no need to wear Nor is it necessary to groom his hair He thinks a casual shirt, boots & blue jeans Won’t blow the interview to smithereens Frank boasts wildly just as much as he can And paints himself as a sort of superman Of course, he expects to get benefits galore Whatever the salary, he will ask for more He must be allowed to work at his own pace Since no job is worth getting into a rat race A cubicle is not a workspace suited to him And Friday afternoons he goes to the gym After six weeks he will expect to get a raise And his work is to receive nothing but praise The impression he think that he’s creating Is very far from what the boss is estimating “Frank, thank you granting us an interview. I will let you know if we have need of you.”
