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 2 hours. I called to explain the situation in the hope that I would be given another interview slot later in the week. I was told I clearly didn’t want the job. FML

Waste my time

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 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

Wait here

Today, I showed up on time for a job interview. After waiting for about three hours, I was informed that the manager had "better things to do" than interview me. FML

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

Canceled

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 discovered out of the 20 job applications only one job called me for an interview. They told me to leave after two sentences. FML

Today, I had a job interview that I had spent hours preparing for it. When I arrived, the interviewer told me the position had been filled already and they forgot to notify me. I wasted a whole fucking day for nothing. FML

Today, I scored an interview with a hospital nearby my house, and so I ordered a car 30 minutes before. There were four people in the same car that were picked up AFTER, and dropped off BEFORE me, causing me to miss my interview. The hospital then stopped interviewing for the same position I wanted.

Today, thanks to protestors blocking the M25, I missed the only job interview I’ve been invited to in 10 months. 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

why didn't you just call a tow company to move the car?

You don’t deserve the job since you could’ve taken a taxi

For those of you suggesting a taxi/uber/towing whatever.... The thing is, these things take TIME. These days, Taxi companies hardly exist because Uber put them out of business, and now Ubers are hard to find too. And getting someone to Tow the vehicle takes quite awhile too. OP might have left like, 15 minutes early - and any additional means of getting to work could take an extra half hour minimum.

You don’t need that job if the employer is being an ass. You deserve better than where this jerk works. And to you people suggesting ride share and towing services. Do we know this person’s background? How many things have you been able to afford without a job or at least, with a low paying one? Suggesting these things makes it sound like you’ve never had money issues. Maybe you still take daddy’s money. I have no idea.
