Hint To Job Seekers, from an Old Codger:
Don't waste a résumé on the following type of company – nothing important happens there; they'll pay you a minimally acceptable salary to show up every day and participate in office politics and management-worship. The company is insanely busy, and produces… nothing.
Under "Job Description" they don't detail the position's purpose, but insert a repetitively written "mission statement" about the company as a whole.
Under "Operational Duties" they don't describe any actual tasks, but merely list the other offices over yours, whom you'll report to, and ask permission to take bathroom breaks.
Under "Qualifications" their list of educational and experiential must-haves is the equivalent of a senior employee making at least 5 times what they're willing to pay you.
If you choose to throw your hat in the ring, just keep in mind it's only for a paycheck and whatever medical benefits they offer. You won't be participating in anything tangible, or productive, much less essential.

DAMN POETRY CORNER
I fall off ladders
I fall off bikes
I'm off the radar
Everyone yells yikes
When I walk
The Children laugh
But I'm too poor
To hire a staff
___
He hooked up with a drunk whore who smoked in bed.
Put asunder by a sipper who slumbered with a cinder.
