Today, I drove two and a half hours to a job interview. The interviewer never showed up or called. I sat in the hotel lobby waiting for an hour and a half. Even the hotel staff said they felt sorry for me. FML

Today, I had a job interview. I got there as quick as I could, having to travel two hours into a city I'd never been to. When I arrived, they told me I was turned down for being too late. They'd rescheduled the interview an hour earlier and I wasn't notified of the change. FML

Today, I had a job interview. I was almost late due to road closure and being blocked in my street by the trash truck. The "interview" turned out to be a hiring fair, with lots of other people. I had to wait outside for 3 hours in the sun with no shade, water or food. I didn't get the job. FML

Today, I was at a job interview. The interviewer spoke to me for a few minutes, then said she would be right back, and left. I was left alone in a room for an hour and a half believing that it was a patience test. They closed the store for the day, leaving me in the interview room. FML
Today, I had a job interview today after being unemployed for months. I left early but a stranger's giant SUV had me blocked in for over two hours.

Today, I had a job interview at a Holiday Inn. I got there ten minutes early and sat until 1:00 p.m., then told the person at the front desk I was there for my interview. She called the manager, who said that no interviews were scheduled today. I'd gone to the wrong Holiday Inn. FML

Reminds me of what happened a few months ago. I got called down to my 1st job interview, and was exited about getting my 1st job. Whene I got to the fruit market, my employer wasnt there. Turns out she was at home and forgot about the interview and she rescheduled it for a week later and she said she'd call when she wanted me to come in for the interview. a week and a half passes and no call. I call in. She hired someone else and forgot about the 2nd interview....again.

you're supposed to call ahead before hand to make sure they A: remember about it and B: that they're able to be there... i voted both ways, they should've called, but you should ahve too...

Aww. That really sucks. Just goes to show that if the interviewer isn't responsible to even show up, it's not worth it.

I did that once--I drove out in a bad winter storm to make my interview. Not only did the interviewer stand me up, but they didn't bother to reschedule. I hope they got stuck with a bunch of trifling workers that called in sick every Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

**** it! Half hour and I would have been gone. Clearly you don't need them... unprofessional *****! (Sorry about my previous post: the smiley. I'd accidentally submitted a comment on here meant for another FML so I had to change that one quickly before it was permanent).

only an hour and a half? dude, it's not the end of the world just cuz you sat in a hotel lobby for an hour and a half cuz the guy who was gonna interview you didn't show up, and didn't tell you he wasn't gonna show up. get over it.

That's frustrating but it would be worse working for someone so unprofessional.
