Today, I applied for a job and sent my CV, then realised I sent the example CV I got off the internet. Now they think Bob Brown who lives at 123 Sunshine Street is applying for a job. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I applied for my first job. I didn't know how to write a resume, so I copied and pasted one from someone else and reworked it. I got on the bus, handed it in, and left. Then I remembered I forgot to change the contact info and date. FML
Today, I wrote an email for a job offer. I checked it, double-checked it, triple-checked it, and then sent it. It's only THEN that I realised my CV wasn't attached. FML
Today, I realized I sent over 2 dozen job applications with my dating profile word doc instead of my resume. FML
Today, I sent my resumé to a former coworker to get some pointers, except that I sent it to his old work email account and now my boss knows I’m looking for a new job. FML
Today, I think I've figured out why I haven't had any replies to my job applications, or just weird ones. I was sending them from an old email address, which is something like "69_party_dude_420@…" (that's not the actual address, so don't @ me!) instead of my professional one, which is listed on my CV. 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
Today, I e-mailed an employer to ask about a job I had applied for earlier. The employer in question was on vacation. The person who replied had the position which I had applied for mentioned in their signature. FML
Today, I applied for my job, while working at my job. I hope they hire me. FML
Today, I applied online for a position and typed, "OH&S Certificate." It autocorrected to, "OH&SHIT Certificate." I didn't notice until the site e-mailed me a copy of my completed application. They'd already received it. FML
Today, the company I applied for called up congratulating me in getting the job. I was ecstatic. Quickly enough I texted a few mates that I'd got the job. Twenty minutes later they called again, saying the trainee had accidentally called the wrong applicant. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Hahah that is funny. Just wait for however long they keep the application on file and send in another one.. they won't know it's the same person since you're not really Bob Brown.

If you're going to be a grammar nazi on a global site.... maybe be forgiving, if not educated, about regional spelling variations.

What if you were to call them asking about the job and they knew it was u (after sending in your new cv) and say they say they gave the job to Bob fail!

Ooookkkk, soooo why don't you just send off the right one? It's not like they are going to know you're the idiot that sent the example. Although if you were stupid enough to do that I'm guessing you didn't think to send off the right one anyway..maybe you should take up a shopping cart pushing job at your local grocery store...

Agreed, they won't know you are the one that send the example CV just sent the right one immediatly! But indeed perhaps there were some problems for you to do that because you needed to process the thought that you send the wrong CV first. This is actually something funny OP, brighten up your life a bit or you will end up like #53 predicted
