It's that time again, school is about to be out for break and Christmas shopping is about to begin. Being a broke college student leads you to start job hunting so that you can buy that extra special present for your family. It isn't easy though because everyone is hunting for jobs too. Finding a job is easy, getting hired is the hard part. Here is a poem I wrote about me going through the grueling process of job searching.

Today is the day that can change everything

Once I walk inside there’s no turning back

Everything has led up to this moment

Dressed in black and white

Like a real boss would

Only two things can happen

Disappoint and back to the unemployment line

Or accomplishment and a steady $10 an hour

They say third time the charm

And maybe this time I will walk out with something

First time I fumbled,

Talking so fast I don’t remember breathing

Felt like butterflies were flying like a storm inside me

I’m pretty sure I didn’t answer most questions clearly

It’s no secret I didn’t get it that try

Second time was better

I slowed down a lot

Much more clear and precise

The butterflies were calmer

I was even asked to come in for a second time

And I felt really hopefully

That I would get it this time

But just my luck the timing suck

The work schedule didn’t work with my school schedule at the time

So, they went with someone else

Once again, my heart broke in two

Most would give up

Most would say screw it!

But mama raised no quitters

My father always said

If you want something, you go for it

And I really wanted this!

And so here we are again

Resume in hand and fire in my eyes

Let’s go, let’s do this

I hope they hire me this time around
