Poem



One walked out
One walked in
I sat nervously in reception
Waiting for my torture to begin

Bouts of laughter came from the interview room
Knocking my confidence with each bout
I didn’t want to be there anymore
Tempted to just forget it and walk out

The door opened she came out smiling
My turn to face the panel of three
They were all very nice
Though it actually didn’t help me

The interview in full motion
Questions and scenarios galore
Confident in my responses
Of them l felt quite sure 

However, there was a problem
One l had never experienced before
I could not stop saying long ‘ummms’
Every-time l opened my mouth which was impossible to ignore

I apologised for the ongoing ummms
Explained it was just nerves
Next thing that came out my mouth 
Yes, you guessed it….’ummm’ before my words

I left and felt completely humiliated
I cried whenever the interview came to mind
I was so disappointed and embarrassed of myself 
It was obvious the position was not mine
 
The letter came l wasn’t interested
As l knew already what it said
I simply glanced at it
My husband read it instead

‘You got the job Deb’, he told me
You can imagine my utter surprise
Handing me the letter
I honestly could not believe my eyes

After working for some time
I enquired why they had chosen me
My interview was not my finest hour
With me ummming constantly

She told me there was something about me
That just shone through
Even with all your ummming, she smiled
We decided this job was for you
 
The lesson l learnt and want to convey in this long winded story is
it doesn’t always have to be perfect or right
Sometimes in life ‘it just is ‘…. simply meant to be
Ummm…..and for you the universe just shines bright!
