It's a Great Job, But---
I can't get that job; I don't have Excel
They'll never hire me; I don't type very well
I've got three years experience; they're asking for four
They're only offering 50k; I need two thousand more
It's a great job, but it's too far away
I'd like to take it, but I won't ride the subway
It looks like a perfect fit, except for the benefits
I'd apply right now, but the last person quit
They'll reject me for sure; I once got a C in Math
I'm not quite their style; I read Sylvia Plath
The job is just fine, but I'll have to get up too early
I loved the position, but the CEO's known to be surly
The issue, my friend, isn't that you're not good
The problem here is strictly your mood
I know you have a PhD., but I'll risk being rude --
It's your B.A. that's killling you, your Bad Attitude
