The job market’s changed, though not by design,
It’s simply that everyone now looks online
Whenever they’re looking to go somewhere new,
Whether they’re farmers or air cabin crew.
The first place they look is an internet site,
Where in a few seconds their eyes will alight
On hundreds of jobs from which they can choose,
Or apply for them all, for they’ve nothing to lose
Except for the time that it takes to complete
Online applications, and still stay upbeat.
One used to find something quite often by dint,
Of trawling through pages and pages of print,
Ticking off jobs that they felt they could do
Whenever they wanted to go somewhere new,
And then writing letters, quite often by hand,
Giving the details the firm might demand.
Or else spending hours on the phone to arrange
Interview dates, if they wanted a change.
Now it’s so different and quicker by far,
And few people realise how lucky they are.
