Today, I filled out a 'perfect job placement' test, where you put down your skills, experience and education level and then it finds you jobs based on your abilities and areas of knowledge. No lie, the most compatible job they found for me was 'Dishwasher'. FML
I agree, your life sucks (15931) - you totally deserved it (3153)

Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment.
Guess you found your calling, cant argue results.
Also, FIRST, eat that bitches.

I'm pleasantly surprised to see there are less "who cares if you're first" posts cause clearly the FML community DOES care, even if it's just for kicks. Or I'm completely wrong and people don't reply cause they really don't care.
It's still annoying, but meh. The assholes are probably asleep or at school these days. Don't get your hopes up though, a new wave of members joining will fix that.

People who are first sit on FML.com like low lfe no lifes, waiting for them to put up the new FMLs. I'm convinced that that's exactly how it goes down.
Also: this FML is FAKE!!!

Well maybe next time you should take a legitamite work placement test at an office or an official site and not "Click here for a free test!!!!! Lawl it's free!"
LOL I agree! They probably sit in front of the computer, refreshing every minute, and when they see new FMLs posted and no comments on them yet, they get all shaky and their heart starts racing, and they write some nonsense comment that is only six words long and very simple, so they can take less time writing it and get the first comment. I can see it all oh! so clearly in my head...
Better solution...stop complaning and pick up a sponge

She should own a pair already!
The test decided once you crossed the "Gender" box... (KIDDING, im not a woman hater, I just find the jokes endlessly funny €:))

I think it is a disgrace that taxpayer money paid for that very expensive test only to confirm what I'm sure many already know. Your an F-ing MORON. But it's still pretty damn crappy.

Sometimes I think Food+Retail is all I'll ever amount to too... Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find something better! =)
I'm pretty sure that means that you don't speak proper English, no?

Don't feel bad, those tests are crap. My sister took that test, and she got, "professional bowler." She has never touched a bowling ball in her life.
Agreed. I got "refrigerator repairman" in high school, and a friend of mine got "subway car operator." Those tests don't mean anything.

My friend took one of these aptitude tests, and not only did she get 'dishwasher', she also got 'vending machine operator' and 'chimney sweep.'

I think the people who pick the jobs for those tests must have a really great sense of humor and are laughing at all of us from their offices...

Oh, Mercy, you are missing the obvious opportunity!
Glenn Beck and FOX News pay a lot more, you don't have to get the malaria shots and you get to meet a lot of batshit crazy people.
Real revolutionaries are bores who only prattle on about their dogma and the other mercenaries are just whores. Besides, Blackwater (now Xe) is depressing mercenary wages, but providing good dental benefits.
Up your viva.
Sorry, had to. Well, not really but I wanted to.
LAWLZ

Dunno about Faux News. If one sees a Coulter, one might choke a Coulter. Or might be unable to stop convulsing in laughter. Not sure which, tbh. The Faux Machine can't be taken seriously and at the same time they can't be underestimated. The endless schemes should be added to 'The Art of War'; really their dogma is awful, too. Bet the pay is way supa boss, though. Better hotel service for sure.
Wait. Wat? repyourcliche: Up my.. 'acclamation' viva? doangeddit. erp :/
Sadly, Mercy, it either gets you killed or imprisoned.
At least if you get imprisoned, the country will house and feed you.

With all you have done in life, they say you should be a kitchen appliance?
You are lucky that this test didn't include a pelvic exam, otherwise you may be destined to be a "Refrigerator."
could have been garbage disposal or toilet.
dishwasher seems almost noble in comparison.

I've known someone who got "cheesemaker". There were no dairy-related questions so I have no clue why that was even an option.
when i took mine i got 'you are not suited for any type of employment.' thats kindof depressing considering how many types of employment there are and i got straight As on my gcses.. :(
I have two degrees in tech fields and mine told me I was perectly suited as a seasonal farm laborer. Now go wash the damn dishes and quit whining.
when I was getting out of the Army me and my buddies had to do all these classes to help us as civilians. One of them had us plug in our MOS and we would set up potential jobs that way. everyone was excited as they saw all these possibilites. My buddies and I put in ours "Infantry" and it said "No civilian equivilance.".... We were disapointed, and all they did was tell us to re-enlist.

@ pinkdancer, people that are first usually do wait a minute or two for the new FMLs to be posted. it's not like you have to be batman to figure out that they do it the same times every day.
considering how much time we all probably spend on here reading comments, and how awesome it is to be first, it is worth a few minutes of my time to nab the top spot.
#39 - On 11/04/2009 at 3:36pm by MaddogTotten
That's so sad. I guess mooching off your parents, smoking weed & playing video games 24x7 just doesn't get you too far anymore. YDI for not having ANY skills.
OMG i took one of those before. i got dumptruck driver, janitor, and karate instructor as my top three choices.

I love tests like that they give the dumbest things. One that we took in school would give what you needed for the job. My friend got 'gynecologist' and it said she needed personal safety devices such as "gloves, first aid, personal flotation devices". We are still wondering how flotation devices were needed
I got criminal investigator/law enforcement every time I took that damn test in high school. And now I'm a CI. the thing tells the truth.

You know when it is fake when the fml related to the fml user ;)
#58 - On 11/04/2009 at 10:31pm by BradlyShore
Don't worry. It was created by people which it's gonna have flaws like people. My best advice is to just laugh it off. No sense in getting mad at it right?
don't think too much about it. i once did a similar test where you put in your interests, etc.. i got things that i was truly interested in, such as immigration officer, or general office administrator.. other office related jobs.. i also got funeral director.. haha.. i found it hilarious :)
#60 - On 11/04/2009 at 11:08pm by crackberrie
hey tary, you know what is worse than the people excited to be first? the people who obsess over them and post comments just to discuss how they feel about them and ponder over their actions.
#62 - On 11/05/2009 at 3:29am by MaddogTotten
What's wrong with dishwashing? It's a far more important job than meets the eye. Granted, it doesn't require a whole lot of skill...but it is VERY important! Trust me.
#65 - On 11/05/2009 at 4:23pm by whererthefriends
You're not alone. I took one of those tests once and the first suggestion was a nanny.
#67 - On 11/05/2009 at 6:59pm by bethiebebe
i know how you feel; i'm supposed to go to college to be the best dishwasher i can be to. i've graduated from dishwashing at my job over a year ago.
#69 - On 11/07/2009 at 6:07pm by bobbi_fred
Ah I wouldn't worry about it, I did that test and they said my most compatible job was 'Wigmaker'. I'm an English student, no knowledge of hairpieces of any kind and absolutely no interest in them either. Go figure.
