simply poetry........

I think about jobs a lot. I am watching panorama just now. It is about unemployment. It is depressing. I have written an account of my job search experience using the medium of poetry. This is my new method for expressing feelings and stuff:

My Job Journey: Bexley Heath to Uxbridge:

Sweet pea in the hot South

Online was too long

3 dimensions and she is closer to me

University in the cold North East

I took severance

The job was not for me

Birbeck was my first

Three against me

And the job went internally

Male grooming polishing my face

Ironing shirts and tying ties

I have to break into this rat race

EDF in Bexley Heath was a long way

I spoke not of corporate competency

They said no to me

Then to Uxbridge I roared

Annadarko greeted me

But felt I would be bored

BP in Sunbury with a free bus

Interview was good

Did you not read my CV

Gazprom with offices by the water so fine

We spoke of coordination and experience

Thought it was beneath me so it wasn’t mine

I thought the Union would be fair

Interview was dry and dull

I don’t despair

RBL is a modern place

Red poppy in my jacket

Close but no cigar

Chinese conglomerate by the park

Human resources for them

I missed the mark

Amec was the place to be

Interview was long and interesting

Feedback was not for me

Charity job was temporary

I went and saw

We never met again

MacMillan was not once but twice

Knocked back times two

Me thinks this is not for you

Construction company at Kings Cross

Mix up in selection suitability

This was a dead loss

Microsoft with all its technology

Interviewer tried to advise and redirect

So why interview me

Agencies must see me

Passport please

Market getting busy

Off to ping pong school for me

Barack didn’t stay

For them I was wrong

Working for a community trust

Stop gap vacancy

With no interview this is a must

Telephone interview was new

What are you saying

This is not for you

Equinox for my healthcare

Didn’t need an interview

This opportunity is rare

Business School in a beautiful place

Talking and testing

They did not want to employ my face

Wellcome thanks to Henry

This place is amazing

I had poor competency

Oil and gas in South Quay

With my diving experience I sold myself

No onshore success for me

Now a temporary assignment

There for one day

This job was not meant

VSO job for me

My recruitment skills are strong

Shame it is only temporary

Feedback is always strong

The recession making it harder

Permanently glued to the internet

Permanent opportunities are out there

But now I am being social

The battle goes on and on…..

...along the winding road!
