Love, Work and Job interview: Bad timing

Bad timing

By amya - 17/10/2009 08:39 - Canada

Today, I had a phone interview for a job I've had my eye on forever. I was dumped a few hours before the interview, but was okay until I was put on hold with music playing. Me and my boyfriend's song came on and I started bawling. I could hardly talk when they took me off hold. FML

Today, after months of job searching, I finally got a call for an interview. Right in the middle of the call, my phone hung up so the music app could open. I tried calling them back and got no response. FML

Today, my phone cut out during a call for a job interview. I tried calling them back, but there was no answer. Later, I got an email from the interviewer, saying I was no longer being considered for the position due to my being "rude and unprofessional." FML

Classic blunder

By Anonymous - 28/10/2022 16:00

Today, I had a phone call from a company I was applying to. It was going really well, until the call ended. Now since I'm so used to calling my girlfriend, I ended the call with, "Love you, bye." And if things couldn't get any worse, I started swearing to myself. The recruitment officer heard me. I forgot to hang up. 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

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 was on the phone to a guy I really like from work. We'd been talking for about 2 minutes, when he said he was getting another call, and put me on hold. I was so excited to be on the phone with him, it took me a whole 15 minutes to realise he had actually just hung up on me. FML

Today, I got through to the phone interview stage for a great job. When the phone rang, I answered and suddenly, spontaneously, burped really loudly. The interviewer hung up. FML

Today, I had a virtual interview for my dream job. Prepared as f**k. One of the interviewers turned out to be my ex, who I dumped for being too dumb. 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

Today, I had a phone interview, my first job interview in months. Two seconds in, I not only lost my signal, my phone froze up and stopped working completely. For six hours. FML

Anyone who doesn't understand why she'd be in tears hearing a song she associates with her ex a few hours after their break-up, obviously never had to end a relationship worth having. Cheer up, OP, props for still getting out there and getting on with your life.

Are you saying you can control every single emotion you feel? If not, stfu. It's not like she wanted to start crying her eyes out.

Wow that's pretty much the worst logic I've ever heard. It's not like she was like "oh hey honey I have an important job interview today so if you have any devastating news to tell me, right now is the perfect time." She didn't plan the breakup, and she was holding herself together well until something happened to remind her of him. You're not very intelligent are you.

If I was the interviewer, I'm not sure I'd wanna bother with her. If I hire her, is she gonna be taking company time to cry her eyes out again? I know you can't always control your emotions... But if you can't even keep it together until after u hang up the phone then idk... I'd move onto the next candidate.

Everyone saying she's being dramatic or is stupid for having a song is obviously someone who has never had a meaningful relationship or someone who is all of 12 years old. And everyone saying how stupid it is to have a song is just thinking way too much of a cheesy 80s/90s movie. "Our song" could mean a song that happened to be playing when he asked her out, or first kiss, or whatever little moment the point is it brought up memories that were painful. OP I sympathize good luck I hope the interviewer rescheduled or you had an interview with a different job some other day.
