I know you are exhausted Time loses its meaning when weeks turn into months and sometime even years Dear Job seeker I know you are frustrated Trying to constantly change and Mould yourself into somebody Someone would want to hire Dear Job seeker I know you start to question Yourself, is it me? What am I doing wrong? Not even a single reply Dear Job seeker You are doing all you can Your CV and application are faultless You match every requirement Sometimes you even managed to Puhuu suomea sujuvasti Dear Job seeker It's time to address the elephant In the room, to name and shame To call out and shine light On every immigrant’s job seeker Number one Obstacle The EMPLOYERS Those refusing to make any Accommodations not even the slightest Change Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Nothing more than a phrase Dear Job seeker It's not you You are Enough!
