The Interview - ã 2006

Welcome to the interview

Please put yourself at ease

Our questions aren’t meant to stump you

They are just a bit of a tease

There’s coffee, tea or water

Please help yourself throughout

I hope we don’t intimidate

If we do please don’t walk out

I’d like to start by asking

Do you know what the job entails?

You should as you applied for

The job and all its pitfalls

Next I’d like to ask you

Who you think you’re working for

Is that right, you think

The company’s worth a whole lot more

Id’ like you now to present your work

You’ve put together overnight

Please don’t be shy, project yourself

Let your ideas take flight

That was quite enjoyable

We understood the topic

And we quite are impressed

The edges they need sharpening

No doubt it will be better when

This has been addressed

The questions come one after another

One about this and yes about t’other

When will it end I ask myself

As a question I once more fend

And then I realise to my relief

Were almost at the end

Just one more thing before you go

What would you do on your first day?

A prudent answer is then returned

Now I hope and pray
