Short Love Story of a Recruiter

Hello,

I’m a person working to find you a job,

so say “Yes” and stop being a snob.

Yes, I can send you an e-mail

and the address of our place,

yes, we’d like to meet you,

preferably face-to-face.

Yes, we’ll speak English

as my colleague can say only “Moi”,

now tell us what part of your career

you’d like to forget or destroy?

Okay, we can send you in

and they want to book an interview,

tell us the time and place,

after all, it’s up to you.

You’ll get competitive salary, gym, spaceship and bike,

new pair of socks and taxi bonus in case of an HSL strike.

The interview went well, they’re ready to give him a try,

and if he drops it I’ll go and hang myself in “London Eye”*.

He said no, oh my, the salary is 50 cents too low.

He said no and we even prayed for it in the church.

Oh well, I guess we’ll have to get a takeaway and start another search.
