Job Seekers Expect a Close Look

Job Seekers, Expect a Close Look

By Elton Camp 

Employers now can be highly selective
To investigate they won’t use a detective
However, it certainly is a pretty good bet
They will check applicants on the Internet

If on some website you are known to rave
It shows how as an employee you’ll behave
The e-mail address of [email protected]
Will make almost anyone think you’re a bum

Arrest records you are no longer able to hide
It’d be a whole lot better if you hadn’t tried
A potential employee with bad credit rating
Is certain to be the fellow they’ll be hating

If from a bogus college you claim a degree
The facts about the place are right there to see
Before you apply, make sure a Google search
Won’t end up by leaving you in the lurch
