Today, I attended a job fair for a position at a shop. I was the only one who showed and submitted an application. I didn't get the job. FML

Black Friday
70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I found out I didn't get the promotion I applied for. Then I was told I was the only one who applied for the job. 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 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 was supposed to have my first job interview for a bakery franchise. Turns out all the applications are submitted to every store, and I was called to the wrong one. FML
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 went to start my new job, only to find out that the guy who hired me had no permission to do so. I had to fill out another application, and complete another interview and I still might not get the damn job. FML
Today, my application for a holiday role at a department store was declined because I was "not as qualified as some other candidates." I worked this exact same job at this exact same store last year. FML
Today, while waiting for an interview at the career that I've been spending months tailoring my résumé for, I was thrown up on by my only competitor. Guess who got the job. FML
Today, I was interviewed by a WalMart employee for a position in their pharmacy. I didn't get the job. I was more qualified than the woman who gave me the interview. FML
Today, I applied for my job, while working at my job. I hope they hire me. FML

If you were the only one applying for the job, how did you not get it? Or were there a shitload of people outside the fair who also applied for the job?

well obviously you suck at life, your resume, or you can't talk to people correctly. I've never had a problem getting any job that I go for.

maybe you would have got the job if you weren't such a terrible person. YDI.

In this economy companies r sometimes advertising for jobs but not always filling the position unless they get an outstanding candidate-they r very risk averse. Or they may have an internal candidate. Keep trying & good luck!
