Today, I filled out an application at WalMart after being unable to find a job in three months. I just graduated from law school. With honors. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I have put in many job applications and had many interviews for a variety of positions all of which I am highly qualified for. Today, I heard back from all but one that I am overqualified. Welcome to Walmart. 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, after 3 years of unemployment and 6 months of hard studying, I found out I hadn't actually registered myself for the public service exam that will happen later this month and could finally get me a job. FML
Today, I tried to get a job at Walmart. My mom was the hiring manager. She turned me down due to lack of work experience. FML
Today, I applied for my job, while working at my job. I hope they hire me. FML
Today, I got my first job after having spent months looking, and graduating college in the meantime. I got it based on my pre-college qualifications. FML
Today, I eagerly applied for a high-salary, fully supportive graduate program that I qualified for. There were 5 steps in the application process. I was turned down after the first one. FML
Today, I discovered that I needed to reapply for my job in order to have a chance at keeping it. The applications closed yesterday. FML
Today, I received a series of rejection letters from jobs, one after the other. Last night, I stayed up into the wee morning hours to apply to campus jobs I'm not qualified for, because I was classified as a part-time student due to an administrative error. FML
Today, my mom told me that Walmart had called and I had an interview at 9:30. I went to Walmart. They told me they didn't have any interviews set up. I went back home and listened to the voice-mail on her cellphone. It was the Subway in Walmart. I've been looking for a job for 3 months. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

YDI for thinking lawyers are supposed to get a job right out of school... Life's tough. Get used to it, bitch!

She's a bitch because she wants to see her work pay off?

Did you go to some 3rd tier school? Most top tier schools I've looked at have like 95%+ job placement within 3 months of graduation (you can get hired before you pass the bar exam). But schools that are barely hanging on to their accreditation (e.g. Texas Southern) don't impress employers because they know it's easy to get in, and competition is so weak that "honors" don't mean much.

So what if you just graduated? You haven''t passed the bar. Now if you can pass the bar, instead of stopping in for a drink each time, you could become a lawyer (and then get drunk on your client's dime ;) )

1. YDI for not setting up an internship before you graduated. If you did you obviously didn't impress them enough to keep you on. 2. Economy sucks donkey balls.

Ugh, it irritates me that people are saying it is your fault for not finding a job before you graduate. The economy is insane, I went to top tier schools and graduated with a Masters, and it still took me 4 months to find a job. Just keep working on it. Also I'm in NM and my company is hiring, for a researcher, less than a JD but better than a Walmart greeter, but I don't want to post my info on this site. If you comment, I can send you my info.

Our Wal-Mart has a kiosk where you sit and fill it out on a computer in the store. So, yes, you CAN do it on site.
