Why Should We Hire You

I don’t know. 
So I don’t starve. 
So that I can subscribe to the 40 hour work week. 
So I can have my life in the hands of capitalist kings.
Who have their lives in the hands of market gods. 
So that I can join the many that have good work ethic 
Which basically means being in a state of gratefulness for this tiring job
This life sapping job. 
You should hire me because I’ll be a good, not passionate worker.
I’m just passionate about being financially stable. 
So I can have my life in seconds, enjoy it in stolen minutes. 
So in those seconds I can say
Hey. I’m a working gal. 
I think all this. I know all this. 
My mouth opens
“I think it’ll be a great opportunity to work with your prestigious organization. I am ready to give the very best of myself to align and uplift the mission of this place”
I’m ready to give my soul away.

Enjoyed your thoughts about the world of work. Most people say when I retire I will do this or that but my advice is to do a little as you go so that you can enjoy your life. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara
