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 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 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, while despairing over having been rejected for my dream job, I received an email asking me to come back in for another interview. Then they called me to say they accidentally sent the email to all the applicants, and that they definitely aren't interested. FML
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 two 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
Today, I went to an interview for a job at a company I've applied for numerous times this year. When I showed up at the interview room, I found it was a vacant office. I called and confirmed the address. I guess this was my hint to stop applying. FML
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 got a call from a potential employer. They spent five minutes explaining job duties and I listened with anticipation. Then they spent five minutes explaining why I wasn't the right person for the job. 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, after being unemployed for over four months, I got a call from a company I've wanted to work for for over 2 years. After they were about to set up an interview, they called me by a different name. After correcting them, they hung up on me. Turns out they had the wrong number. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

ok whoever is bagging on OP for not realizing that no one gets jobs easy is dumb. I'm pretty sure FML is the ONLY job she interviewed for was declined after 2 sentances. just guessing here.

If getting a job was easy, nearly 10% of the population wouldn't currently still be unemployed. YDI for thinking it's the job of the company to follow-up on an application. You turn in an application, wait a week, and then call (or if it's appropriate, stop by) to ask if they've had time to review your qualifications and are ready to set up an interview. Most business with multiple locations see literally hundreds of applications per month, some per week. If you're not willing to even follow-up on an application, why would they even bother to consider you?
