A Lament For Recruitment and Selection

Went for another job interview on Friday,
Went in, like Sinatra did it my way,
with no shortage of style, panache
Not too flash mind –
Professional, quick thinking,
Hard working, and soft drinking,
Dedicated, with an eye to the future, a respect of the past
(although we knew it’d never last)

Presentation? Cock One!
Mine refreshed the parts that you didn’t know.
Questions – well yeah,
Waxed eloquent about all the skills I had,
All the bad that could be undone
By a passionate, committed librarian.
Let me manage! Let me lead!
Hitting the Retford area like a cataloguing John Stead.
A classifying Doctor Who!
Using Dewey for the common good.
Give me the job, you know you should!

Didn’t get it.

Bollocks.
