And you are…?

Today, I got a phone call for a interview at Target at 4:30 pm. I got super excited, so I got dressed up and headed over there. I told the manager that I was there for my interview. He didn't know what I was talking about. My friends had prank called me. FML

Today, I was to have an important phone interview for a job. I got a call and everything went perfectly, and they said I was hired. Later, I found out that one of my "friends" had gotten one of his buddies to prank call me and make sure the line was engaged when the real interviewer called. FML

Today, I got a call from a really great company that I applied to work for, asking me to come in for an interview. When I went in, they had no appointment scheduled and no idea who I was. It turned out it was all a prank by my brother and his friends. My brother is 30. FML

Today, I got a phone call from a number I didn't recognize. It was a man with a speech impediment, and I began imitating him. He was the manager of a store I applied at. He wanted to arrange an interview. FML

Today, after months of job hunting, I finally got a phone interview with a company. Excited, I prepared for the interview and conducted extensive research on the company. The interview ended within a minute. They'd got the wrong person. FML

Today, I got a call about a job interview, saying I was hired. I was ecstatic, until they called me back and said they'd called the wrong applicant. They called again later, saying there'd been a mistake and I really was hired. When I went in to confirm it, they said they'd never heard of me. FML

Today, after being unemployed for over four months, I got a call from a company I've wanted to work for for over 2 years. After they were about to set up an interview, they called me by a different name. After correcting them, they hung up on me. Turns out they had the wrong number. FML

Today, I got called for a job interview. I didn't catch where it was, and in my excitement I forgot to ask. I now have no idea where I'm being interviewed. FML

Today, I got a call from the only company that asked me to come in for an interview of the many applications I submitted. I answered it even though I was at my current job. My boss heard and chewed me out. The call was to cancel the interview since the position was filled. FML

The old switcheroo

Today, I had a job interview. I didn't have any clothes suitable for the interview, so I went to the store early and bought some there. After the interview, I went to return the clothes, because they were so expensive. The hiring manager saw me. FML

Today, I finally got a job interview, and I thought it went amazing. They were supposed to call me today or tomorrow with the news. Today is also the day that my phone company decided to cut my phone off. FML

I don't know what's more tragic, that you were excited over an interview at Target, or that your friend is an ass.

I would have replied with a snide remark, but this was put so simply and effectively, I feel I would be robbing the moment. Excellently put, kind sir.

do the people who are making fun of the op for being excited about an interview at target realize that they may be a teenager? by the use of the phrase "super excited" and their user name i'm willing to bet they're under 18 and can't get a much better job. morons.

What I like is that everyone is talking crap to that Econ major who considered the crossing guard job. They didnt like how he thought he was too good for a job and now they hate on this girl for actually appreciating a job offer. You can never make people happy these days.

Or the girl who made the FML about recently graduating from law school and having to put an application in at Walmart. Everyone gave her crap about thinking she's too good for that job.

I had something like this happen to me before.....problem was i got all dressed up and had a resume and stuff ready for a job only to find that they mistakenly contacted me and wanted to call and say "Don't come" before i showed up for the interview I thought I had. I probably should have posted this story on the site instead of a comment

I'm not sure what is more of an FYL, that your friends did that to you, or that you were "Super excited" about an interview for Target.

LMFAO!!! My sister did something like that to me by waking me up out of my sleep saying my old job called me because they had a leftover paycheck in my name. I flew out of bed, hopped on the phone, and was met by this witch I used to work for who sneered through the phone at me saying, "we don't have no damn check for you!" Ugh.
