If you want to be happy in your job–
–pick the place you work.
–don’t let it pick you.
don’t delay until a: “help wanted” sign
hangs,
don’t look for a classified
add,
don’t bother with word of mouth, or wait for an
opening,
go there
in person.
–in your Monday best
–in swagger you put on–
–in dress shoes that impress–
(leaving loafers in the closet)
your
resume
just the >teeniest<
bit fudged.
…
what else, what else, what else!
for God’s sake know the date,
& bring a pen…
Spell your name rite,
spell the company’s name rite,
and above all–
–complement!
complement
where complement’s
do.
