Sharing the best that I have to offer--
bulleted, bold faced, and typed to impress.
Make sure I'm putting my best foot forward
as I step out again in best business dress.
Once again masked in best business expression
and settling self into best frame of mind,
I stride in to give my best interview yet:
confident, friendly, engaging and kind.
Doing my best to keep positive outlook,
hoping the best as I wait for that call--
only to learn that again I’ve been 'bested,'
passed by once more after giving my all.

Expunging frustrations
They don't recognize a good thing when they see it-pearls before swine!
ReplyDeleteAck, this does sound like a frustrating experience! I hate it when that happens.
ReplyDeleteIf you care to tweak this at all, it might sound better in S3L2 to say "Hoping the best" rather than "Hoping for best", but it's up to you. Either way this poem is great!
Such a difficult experience, isn't it. Hadn't thought of this as one of the benefits of being retired, but then there's the rejection that we writers get. They just don't know what they're missing. Good luck if you are in the job market.
