Some you win,some you lose

Narrative verse

 

 

Some you win, some you lose

 

 

I used to go for interviews.

Just as a hobby more or less

which served to reinforce my views

That interviewers know far less.

 

Than interviewers ought to do.

Gave me an edge because I knew

I could control the interview.

I found it added something to

 

The role of the interviewee.

I asked what they could offer me.

Which confused them apparently.

hey were dumbfounded I could see.

 

If the offered to employ me.

I would not accept instantly

 but stated I would let them know.

Though it might take a day or so.

 

I only counted as success

 The ones who spotted I knew less

about the vacancy than they

 and briskly sent me on my way.

 

All valuable experience

 which I would later put to use

 in building up my confidence.

For any real life interviews

 

 on which my future might depend.
I realised that in the end.

That interviewers generally

 approach their task tentatively.

This was witty. I enjoyed the humor and the real life application.

:)) Unusual theme for a poem, but I like it nevertheless.
The cadence id great, makes it ,,flow,, easily.
