Today, I had a job interview, for which I spent hours preparing. My interviewer was nothing more than a pimple-faced teen, and after only two minutes of reviewing my qualifications, he lost interest and started asking such questions as which Hogwarts house is my favorite. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went to an important job interview, only to be told I'm not what such a "prestigious" company was looking for. This from a pimply-faced 20-something who took a personal call on speakerphone mid-interview, and actually said "LMAO" out loud at his friend's joke. FML
Today, I went to my first job interview. I didn't think I was doing too badly, until the interviewer said, "Wait a second, you're in high school?" I explained that the guy who'd called me had said that this wouldn't be a problem. I then watched as my interviewer left his desk to "deal" with him. 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 had a job interview. The night before, I'd noticed a small pimple forming on my chin and did everything I could to make it go away. During the interview, I couldn’t focus on anything except the giant pimple that had sprouted on my forehead. I spent the entire time trying to keep my fringe in front of it. FML
Today, I had a Skype interview for a wonderful new job. I was calm, cool and ready to land it. But just like in a bad movie, the interviewer ended up being the creepy guy I turned down repeatedly in high school and in our 20s. He smirked and told me I could continue, but it would be pointless. FML
Today, I had my first job interview for eight months. My interviewer noticeably yawned during my reply to the first question. FML
Today, I went to the bathroom after a terrible job interview. My interviewer walked in with another guy, talking about my interview, saying he was obviously going to hire the other guy because my odd-sounding name was too hard to pronounce, yet alone spell in multiple emails. FML
Today, I had an admissions interview at my dream college. I spent hours practicing questions and picking the perfect outfit. It was not until after the interview that I realized I'd scratched a pimple while waiting, and my forehead had been smeared with blood the entire time. FML
Today, I had what I thought would be an important (and formal) interview. Not only did I turn up completely overdressed, the man who was interviewing me arrived 30 minutes late. To top it all off, I was so distracted by his mysterious total lack of eyebrows that I forgot everything I had to say. FML
Today, I went to a job interview. I never applied for the job, they'd sought me out, had a phone interview, and sent samples, all before the face-to-face interview. Turns out none of the people I met with had even read my resume or writing samples. I was told I might not be a good fit. FML

" Pimple-faced teen." hahaha. At least he didn't ask whether you were team Edward or Jacob.

Well it's very important which one is your favorite. If you're a Gryffindor and he's a Slytherin, forget it.

Boo slytherin!! :p

Ravenclaw! :D

I prefer Hufflepuff, what other house sounds like an awesome trippy drug?
oliver9244 3
Snape is a Slytherin and he is practically the hero of the whole series. No "boo slytherin"
bluejayscheer 7
I love snape but can't I like whatever house I want?
lonkite101 14
58- I've read all the books, and I'm pretty sure Harry is the hero. Snape works for voldemort, killed dumbledore, and doesn't have a tan. *at first "dumbledore" spell checked to "fumbled *****".
Goldenchest 14
Hufflepuffs are particularly good finders!
gracehi 33
67, Are you sure you didn't miss book 7, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."
XxDevilxXGt 26
Well he had to kill Dumbledore, was a double agent working against Voldemort, and has cool hair. Countered every point you made! ^^
hqbrat 8
#67- lol " fumbled *****" haha XD
ShyAnn29 15
Snape is a brave guy, yes he killed Dumbledore, but if you had read book 7, you'd know why he killed him.
airforce987 20
67 - I don't think you understand how massively you failed just then.
katydid95 5
Are you sure you know how to read? Because if you read the entire series, you would understand that Snape is basically the hero. Besides, he's more fun to root for than the whiny, bitchy title character.

77: what the hell is a Hufflepuff? I FOUND your comment particularly amusing.
WeaselBee42 6
67 - Dumbledore was dying anyway and asked snape to kill him. It provided a quicker and easier death and stopped draco from having to destroy his soul. He was also working as a double agent and needed to make voldemort trust him PLUS he made the unbreakable vow to help draco. Now hush, you just sound like an idiot

You're a ******, Harry.

I don't even know what that meeeaannnssss

67 ~ You are an IDIOT. Dumbledore ASKED Snape to kill him. Read the books again. You might be mature enough to understand tuem this time.

GRYFFINDOR! Where dwell the brave at heart :)

Well I hope you also know that Dumbledor WANTED Snape to kill him. But Boo Slitherin!
GirlOnFire143 6
Well, I put all the good guys in Gryffindor, and the bad guys in Slytherin. Everyone else can go wherever the **** they want - I don't care.

I would Definitely Be in slytherin, for many reasons!! Even though we would be in different houses, I'd have to make sure Luna Lovegood became my Best Friend! But i absolutely Adore Bellatrix, Luna Lovegood, Snape, And the Twins.

You might be able to find a better job
lonkite101 14
Yeah. That's the kind of boss that would fire you because "you have weird glasses" or "you like country music".

One of my best jobs had a strange interview like that. The guy could tell my qualifications from resume and portfolio and we got talking about games. Totally off subject. Turned out to not only get a great job but a great friend.

Let's just hope OP is a Hufflepuff. They're particularly good finders.

I say swallow your pride and play along. Face it, pimpled faced teens may be able to get further than you in life
Googoo27 12
Do it yourself.
efemel94 7
Elaborate...
Googoo27 12
I said "Insert Intelligent Comment Here" And then admins changed it to "Do it yourself"
tehcyberman 9
Well that's what you get for trying to pass a comment like that.
ImaginaryFoe 1
Two points for the mods. That's brilliant. And we're still waiting for you to insert an intelligent comment.
spazz666 18
Guys, what if he actually posted "Do it yourself." and made up the story about the mods?? O_o am I the only one that thought this..?
Sirin_fml 47
Don't think too hard about that. Your brain could fall into an infinite loop.
Googoo27 12
I probably shoulda thought before posting that one...
kprando25 8
Wow, don't you wish you could thumb-up the FML team?
Lauren324 18
You must have gotten the job then?!
HooyoMacaan 7
Go along. This is the interviewer after all. Hopefully you got the job! :)
ImaginaryFoe 1
Exactly. The interviewer is more than a pimply teen; he's also one of the people who can help you get the job you want. Slagging him off won't do you any good. Do whatever you must to build a strong impression. He's bored because he's interviewed lots. If he actually remembers you, you've moved ahead of the pack.
onlychildFTW 34
Yeah he is still interviewing and stands between you and the job. Make sure he remembers you, in a good way of course and you'll be better off then a lot of others. I'll agree interviewing is so boring. I've done it and I don't enjoy it but the people that are not just cut and dry are the ones you remember and the ones more likely to get the job. You want to stand out in a positive way.
Rachiebabyx 1
Sooooooo, Which ones your favorite ?
smarie98 1
Better be... Gryffindor!
iluvacting45 6
Hufflepuff!
LissaMccracken 23
Wait... someone actually likes hufflepuff?

" Pimple-faced teen." hahaha. At least he didn't ask whether you were team Edward or Jacob.
SqueakyChipmunk 22
I'm Team 'Guy who almost hit Bella with a van' And Team 'Charlie's mustache'. And I liked Taylor Lautner(sp) as Shark Boy, but then steroids hit that boy like a brick.
ManInTheMachine 20
15-Or y'know...puberty. He's 20 now. He was 13 when he did Shark Boy and Lava Girl.
SqueakyChipmunk 22
He's 20? Well now I'm all discombobulated.
hisgirlherboy 5
I'm team Jasper
gracehi 33
Team Jacob!
gracehi 33
Heeeeeeeey...That's not what I said! Not entirely, anyway. Gosh darned meddling mods! >:(
gracehi 33
Oh, I see how it is. Well played. Yeah, I tried having an amusing comment, and I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you meddling mods and that dog!
SqueakyChipmunk 22
BITCH IM A CHIPMUNK NOT A DOG-- wait, how is "Team Jacob!" an amusing comment?
gracehi 33
It wasn't. The mods changed my original comment.
BVBAArockergirl 4
I would've slapped him..
SqueakyChipmunk 22
...and gotten arrested for assault.
ShyAnn29 15
I like Jasper, but I also like Edward and Jacob.

Team Jacob all the way ;)
LissaMccracken 23
How about team I hope they all choke... Let's get back to harry potter please
tehcyberman 9
What kind of job are you applying for that the person hiring you is not only a teen but this unprofessional?
Judahsh 8
The interviewer probably wont be his boss
LissaMccracken 23
It doesn't matter that the interviewer isn't his boss, HE'S STILL BEING INTERVIEWED BY A STUPID TEENAGER... One with good taste though. harry potter ftw
Anacanrock11 5
just because he's a teen, shouldn't mark his competence or lack thereof.
emeraldisle 30
About time he got to the important questions.
Bonzer 2
Time to be a suck up! Ask him what his favorite is and agree completely, repeat for each question. With a kid like that, you're likely to get the job.
Arilia 6
Random question... What the hell is your picture?

Bush eating pussy.

I thought Clinton was the one who ate pussy.
