lyrics

EUGENE
Hello. I'd like to talk to you about modern recruiting techniques in hiring professional personnel. Most of your success as a manager will depend on your ability to hire, keep, and motivate good people.

APPLICANT TWO
To all my future employers, colleagues and coworkers, I own the type of ambition that only dulls with age.

CHORUS
Thank you for your interest in employment. Thank you for the interest you've expressed. We appreciate your interest. We know that a more personal response is preferable, but our goal is to review all our applications in a timely manner and to respond promptly. I don't know if you realize this, but the position is not in alignment with what you do.

APPLICANT TWO
I have the drive and potential to more than compensate for any experience I may lack.

CHORUS
The selection committee appreciates the time you invested in applying. The applicant pool for the position was extremely impressive and varied. The task of identifying the best fit for the program has been difficult. We are overwhelmed and humbled that so many talented individuals want to join us as we move forward into our bright future. It does not appear that you have, the relevant experience required. Frankly we don't see why you are interested in this job.

APPLICANT ONE
To all my future employers, colleagues and coworkers, I have continued experience only acquired through time.

CHORUS
At this time we have decided to concentrate our attention on other candidates who we believe best meet the current needs of our organization. After much careful review of the applications we decided to offer the position to another candidate and the position has been filled. Unfortunately at this time we do not feel like your application is the best fit for our institution. We regret to in form you that you are no longer being considered for this position.

APPLICANT ONE
I have made my expertise in assuring anything that can go wrong never does.

EUGENE
The thing to do is go out and sell it.

APPLICANT ONE
The proof I have collected is positively brimming with glowing recommendations of the skills I have succeeded in mastering in my past positions.

CHORUS
We highly suggest that you tailor your approach to the actual needs of the company.

APPLICANT TWO
I want the chance to prove that I have more than understood everything I've had to learn in the most productive ways I can apply myself after years of practice that has been with only malice.

CHORUS
If you feel you are qualified for any of the positions listed please resubmit your materials. Please don't see this as a reflection on the standard of your work. As the search progresses our client may become more flexible at which point we will revisit your application. As we continue to grow aggressively another opportunity may open that could be more suitable for our company.

CHORUS
Your patience was appreciated throughout the application process and we wish you the best in all your personal endeavors. Please accept our best wishes for continued success in all your endeavors. We appreciate your interest and wish you success in your career endeavors. We thank you for your interest and wish you success in your continuing endeavors.

APPLICANT ONE
No, not ever.

APPLICANT TWO
Stay positive; stay focused on what you need to. Why not me?

CHORUS
You are not quite what we are looking for best of luck to you in all your endeavors.

APPLICANT ONE
Why not let me be who I want you to let me be?

CHORUS
This is a very poor format to apply for a job. Anything that causes the employer to seek out your information puts you at a disadvantage.

APPLICANT ONE
A sentence needs a stop when ideas are gone. A speech needs a breath to string a crowd along. A habit needs a break, for a moment of regret. Alone needs no one but the silence you upset.

EUGENE
Stay confidant in what your company has to offer to be more attractive to our prospects.

APPLICANT TWO
To believe in yourself is to stare into the sun. I can't afford to look so I've never seen who's won. But if you question your own progress is to ignore what's ahead to have pride in the past is to envy the dead.

EUGENE
We look at our past failures as opportunities for future success.

APPLICANT TWO
I've stopped trying to understand what the words even want. I've stopped trying to read any more than I have to. I've just kept accepting and sending myself out to whoever could stand to listen to my dreams.

APPLICANT ONE
I can't remember the taste of success. Maybe I never had it to begin with.

APPLICANT TWO
I use to be positive.

APPLICANT ONE
I used to be a lot of things.

APPLICANT TWO
Now I'm just used. I don't know if I can handle this every day just starting over again trying to be something more than I am now I have been told I'm not good enough to be even recognized more than words on a document that does not even fully represent my ambition for craving something more in my life that means more than what I am already known as I want to be something I am not right now.

APPLICANT ONE
Again I have to start over but I forgot where to reset my goal has gone so far from my starting point that I have never left behind my own comfort zone my safety light.
