The Job Sure Not To Get

Sometimes interviews are fair but other times its all against you I always feel at a real disadvantage my stammer tenses me down the queue Years ago went for a job with a chemist company close to home for first time it was group interview this tensed me greatly felt no shalom Firstly put in circle to share your experience of past idea I push seat back cause of fear that was a fault not being near Then asked to make up uniform in groups together learn to speak use string, tape, and crepe paper what nonsense, wasn't my week!

The interviews themselves can be daunting but to perform like they get you to do now days makes it doubly terrifying. Enjoyed your poem Gordon, Emilia : )

Oh, Gordon - interviews are awful things! I went on plenty but I also interviewed some prospects, too. Always felt so sorry for the nervous ones. Your poem describes interviews perfectly!
