Job Applicants in Waiting

What makes applying for a new job difficult is, not so much the pressure of interviews and other screening procedures, but the tightness of the competition. If there are a lot of other applicants and they are all eyeing the same post, then such situation makes the application more overbearing than the usual.

Young men and women sit beside each other The way they sit makes the benches sunder Plastic chairs, each one has a man Though some of them, instead, have a woman. Waiting for the call from the office not beyond The smiling faces make them greet anyone Who comes out of the room they hope they could be in As they ponder the question, "Will I be the one?" Only time can tell, And the ones on top as well Will they be allowed to enter and be met By those they call the Management?
