Cocky

By Jeanna - 15/03/2016 23:14 - United States - Baskett

Today, I went into a store for an interview. I've had several places wanting to talk to me and this job was a lot lower paying. I got a little cocky and when offered the job, I said I wanted some time to finish my other interviews first and see what my options were. The manager then took back his offer. FML

When being interviewed, don't mention other places. Just say "can I take some time to think about it?" Otherwise shit like this happens. You definitely deserve this one for trying to be a big shot

There's a difference between confidence and cockiness, and no matter how confident you are about getting a job, you should never be arrogant in an interview. But on the bright side this can be a humbling experience! Better luck with those other jobs...

That was incredibly rude, Jeana. Almost hope you don't get another job, just to teach you manners and humility.

Someone needs to practice what not to say at an interview. Don't stress too much though, I'm sure it was a mistake

I don't blame you for wanting to see if you could get a higher paying job! I think fml over ydi

That's not why it's a YDI, op would be fine if they just said they needed time. The way they handled it makes this a YDI.

You're an idiot. You don't say that to an employer who is looking to hire you. You deserved that.

If there are other places with higher pay what's the problem

That he's not guaranteed to be hired at any of them; this could have been the only one to offer a job and he blew it.

You should have just taken the job and if something better came along quit and go there. Plus how do you even know these other places were going to hire you? Just because they are interested in you doesn't mean they will hire you. Hope you learned your lesson and good look on the job search.

Arrogance is a terrible trait and is very unattractive in many ways. Let this be a lesson to you, OP.

You know I'm honestly not sure why this is an FML worthy of publishing. It basically says "I can get a job that pays me well so I turned down the one with lowest offers."
