A Job Interview Poem by Jasbir Chatterjee
A Job Interview
A job interview,
As you grow older,
Isn't always
A pleasant experience;
But whatever be the outcome,
It is always a memorable experience;
For like a well-meaning, true friend,
It forces the bitter truth down your throat,
Knocks off your rose-colored spectacles,
Pulls you out of your shallow pond of complacence,
And compels
You to hold on to your best
Before it loses its existence…
A job interview,
As you grow older,
Isn't always
A pleasant experience;
But whatever be the outcome,
It is always a memorable experience;
For like a true well-wisher,
It helps you control your annoyance,
Nurture your patience,
Smile through all those mindless,
Inane questions,
Those silly comments,
On your marital history, your past choices.
Nice portrayal of a job-interview experience when one is in his or her 50s. It may not be a happy occasion but still has its positive points for the interviewee. Awesome work. Thanks. It helps you control your annoyance.... Nurture your patience Smile through all those mindless.... Inane questions
A job interview gives memorable outcome definitely. Growing older also a person keeps these memories and great experiences control mind. The history of past choices remain inside mind and we think upon this. An amazing poem is very well crafted and shared here...10
