JOB WE MET

The months since November have been a roller coaster ride.

With nothing in hand

But everything on mind.

My inbox, though, is full.

Every email begins

“Thank you for applying, but we have decided to move ahead….  

or

“We will get back to you.”

They rarely do.

 

If I had been algorithmic, I would have dished out

Rejections to scale.

Automated the disappointments.

Optimised the coping mechanism

 

But I am human

I work differently

 

Mind you, I’m not unemployed.

I’m training an Algorithm with my patience.

 

Can’t you see the results?

The system is very efficient.

Rejection is instant.
Silence is scalable.

Hiring Managers think I’m not a fit.

I think it’s a “Job We Met” kind of situation.
