Today, after months of searching I finally got a job interview. Too bad I didn't have enough money to buy a bus ticket to get there. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, after three and a half years of working dead-end jobs with a bachelor's degree, I got a call from a potential employer in my degree field, who wanted to set up an interview. The problem: the interview is across the country, and I'm too broke to pay the travel expenses. FML
Today, I got a call from a job I had applied for. Everything went great until I realized I had applied to the wrong location, across town. I'm so broke, I went to the interview anyway. It will cost me more to pay for the gas to drive there to work, than what I will actually make. FML
Today, I had my very first interview and pretty much got hired right away. Then I found out I have to drive 2 hours away for training. I don't have a car, license, or money. 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 went for a job interview I scheduled 3 weeks ago. I spent $200 on a new suit to really impress them and practised like crazy every imaginable question they could ask. They already had filled the position 2 weeks ago and forgot to inform me. FML
Today, after finally getting a job offer after months of unemployment, I found out that the person who was going to hire me got fired. Which means I'm not getting 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
Today, after searching for a job for over a year now, I finally got an interview. The pressure made me so nervous that I passed out in the middle of it. FML
Today, I woke up early for a job interview. I got lost and arrived an hour late, only to find out it was the wrong day. FML
Today, I had a job interview. I didn't have any clothes suitable for the interview, so I went to the store early and bought some there. After the interview, I went to return the clothes, because they were so expensive. The hiring manager saw me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You also didn't have enough money to walk there? Or ring the neighbours doorbell to ask if you could use their phone to ask a friend to take you there?

And you don't know anyone with a car that could have given you a ride? No friends or family or neighbors? Also, I don't know many people that don't at least give you a day or two before the actual interview... If you wanted the job that bad, you would have begged, borrowed, or stolen to get to the interview.

Oh, bullshit! Israel's a tiny country. You have to be pretty lazy or out if shape not to be able to reach anywhere by foot. Maybe if the interview is in Eilat you should wake up early and bring some water.

You seriously couldn't borrow a couple of bucks for the bus ride, or ask someone to drive you?

well it's a couple of shekels in this case... come on i thought israelis are all one hand and very helpful to each other.nobody could lend you money? OP you should've sold your computer, it would've paid for enough bus rides until you got your first salary..

It could be possible that he got the call and they wanted him to come in the same day. I have had an interview and they called me the same day. And if that was the case how many people do you know that are at home during the day on a week day? Where he could ask someone for a lift or ask to borrow some money? Most people I know are at work. And walk to the interview, you must be joking, right? I wouldn't want to turn up to a interview all sweaty and out of breath and I wouldn't employ someone that comes into an interview like that. First impressions count!!

I'll add my suggestion to walk, cycle, or find someone to give you a lift. Personally I was exceptionally lucky when living in London. I had just enough cash to buy a weekly ticket, so travelled to the city every day and walked around to distribute my cv. I was lucky enough to be interviewed on the spot at most places (for an IT job) and asked to start the next day. Had to ask to get paid after the first week as well (paid monthly).
