<span><span>Four months ago, I had time to relax<br/>Oh some time off, free from e-mail from fax<br/><br/>Three months ago, I was still holding out<br/>For that one perfect job, I still dreamt about<br/><br/>Two months ago, I was starting to find<br/>No money for bills, and I longed for the grind<br/><br/>One month ago, I started to panic<br/>Sent out more resumes! I became crazy and manic<br/><br/>So here’s to the recruiter, lord of my fate<br/>Reader of the resume Keeper of the gate<br/><br/>Just one year ago, you were my best friend<br/>Praising and fawning o'er the resumes I’d send<br/><br/>“We want you, we love you, you’ll be our new star!<br/>You’re the brightest, the greatest, the best out here by far!”<br/><br/>But where are you now? Not a callback in months<br/>While more and more “qualified” join the unemployed bunch<br/><br/>So I sit and obsess about typos and such<br/>Did I get the right name? Did I bug you too much?<br/><br/>I rewrite, and I tweak, and I bullet and bold<br/>“But we’ll keep this on file,” is all I’ve been told<br/><br/>I know I am qualified, I posses every skill<br/>GO GETTER you say? I can and I will!<br/><br/>So I fax, and I mail, I network, I call<br/>And talk about career fairs, I’ve been to them all<br/><br/>Oh Apple... Oh Netscape… Oh Adobe… and more…<br/>I’d do anything to get my foot in the door<br/><br/>I’d die for some feedback, if you can’t bring me in<br/>Do you see my bio amongst the hordes in the bin?<br/><br/>I just want to work, I don’t want to retreat<br/>Please give me a chance, e-mail me, let’s meet!<br/><br/>Oh Dear Recruiter Gatekeeper of all,<br/>Please do me a favor, please give me a call.<br/><br/>Project Manager, amateur poet, seeks position in the Internet or software industry.</span></span></div>
