Today, after months of tests, I was the only candidate left for my dream job. Then, only a few days before the last meeting before signing the contract, I get a call from HR informing me their co-worker unexpectedly came back from unpaid leave and that they are obliged to give him the job. FML

Today, after waiting 3 months to see if I got the job I had applied for, I was told that they never received my application. Turns out that the email address that they told me to send it to was not being checked anymore and that they would be happy to consider me for the following year. FML

Today, it was the day that I had been waiting for weeks to arrive: I finally finished the hiring process for my new job… Only to find out not only my paycheck, but the job itself was fake. Thanks Indeed, my first new bank account after years of debt, my disability, and my will to live greatly appreciate it. FML

You're already doing well as someone that would work in public services, they like to forget to do important things too.

Not that it's much consolation, but at least you didn't show up to take the test, only to be publicly shamed and then turned away. That being said, based on the limited info you gave, it DOES kind of seem like a dumbass move on your part...

Literally how. I seriously don't understand. it's never taken me more than 2 weeks to get a job after deciding to get one, even when I have zero relevant experience. What are you doing?
