Job application of a poet

Can a poet find a real job? But, what can stop him from trying right?

Dear sir/madam,

I was standing at life's crossroads

and found that you are looking for a man of ideas and words.

While searching for companies, I found

that yours made a connection and a unique bond.

Between the customer and client,

you make the golden bridge.

Pushing decisions of those

standing at the edge.

 

In my portfolio, you can find the poems & stories I made.

I make sure that whatever I create shall never fade.

 

I use the ideas that work for today's time and age.

I arrest their attention; they won't flip the page.

Without further adieu, please find my resume below

My internships, research materials and achievements shows,

that I shall be an asset to your creative force.

If you like my work, if you think I am right for your place.

Call me for an interview; we can meet face to face.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Author's Note

I work at an advertising agency. This is something that I have actually written while applying for companies. Though none of them reverted to this bizarre poem. I hope now that I can use it to amuse you all, my friends.
Hope you had fun reading this. Please do share your thoughts below.

P.s. No copyrights on this one. Feel free to use this whenever you are out looking for a job.

As I only write to "entertain", I enjoyed this tongue in cheek job application. Advertising relies on creative minds and unique approaches, and this fits those criteria..But.....these days, job applications are rarerly even acknowledged unless they are successful.

Thank you for the review Norman Sir, And yes, what you said is correct, which is why this poem wasn't very successful. But People have enjoyed it here. so I am happy.

This work is so creative. I find it so "Poetically practical". why not? If someone does not have daily bread to eat, they can certainly not think about being artistic rather than thinking of surviving. It gave me a good laugh too. I like it.

I loved it, kind of funny in a serious way. Its alot better then my advertising poem which is why I luaghed abit when I read yours, as its so well done that it puts mine to shame. Great job with this poem, it makes sense that you work for a advertising agency. 100/100 from me.

[Ashwin Shanker]

Hey William... Glad to know that you loved the writing... I would like to read your advertising poem bro, I feel there is nothing like better one or worse one. We are poets and every piece is a work of art. With a beauty of its own... Thank you for the review once more :)

How fantastic to find a job where you could write to your hearts content all day.....I love your poem/application - very clever, well done.

[Ashwin Shanker]

Even when there is not much of a work-pressure. A writer at an ad agency is free to browse and invest in their personal writing to further improve their craft. Yes, you are right Bradley, it truly is fantastic.
Thank you for your review.
