Today, I filled out an online application for a internship. I didn't have all the info I need to complete it, but it wouldn't let me leave anything blank so to move along I filled in crap answers. I pressed "Save". It sent my draft in. I now have to explain that "Jesus" isn't actually my reference. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I put "Jesus Christ" as a reference on an application, because all the fields needed to be filled in order for the submission to go through. FML
Today, I spent two hours filling out an online application and questionnaire for a potential employer. The application stated that there were no right or wrong answers and to answer truthfully. I was automatically rejected. FML
Today, I started to fill out a job application online, with age being one of the first things I put in. After half an hour and 40 questions, I hit submit. I was then told that I wasn't old enough to apply. FML
Today, I spent ages writing a draft press release as part of a copywriting job application. I worked really hard and read it through several times before submitting. They emailed me to point out that I'd misspelled the name of the company. Twice. FML
Today, while writing a self-evaluation for my internship, I had to type up answers to certain questions and then submit them. After submission, I re-read one of the answers I had written that said, "After 3 months on the jon I finally feel like I have accomplished a lot." I had meant to write job. 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, I realized I sent over 2 dozen job applications with my dating profile word doc instead of my resume. FML
Today, I realized I had misspelled "Education" on all the resumes I've been submitting. FML
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, after submitting my college application, I noticed that I mistyped "math enthusiast" as "meth enthusiast". FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

YDI op... Why didn't you just put N/A in for some answers?

Is there a more credible reference than a guy who may or may not have existed a few thousand years ago?

Jesus saves..... His application

He wasn't expecting it to be sent in; he was filling in the blanks so he could save it as a draft and fill it out properly later.

While OP may not have meant to send in the application, the safe (and not to mention smart) thing to do would have been to just put something like N/A rather than "crap answers" that sound ridiculous. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if any online application, when saved, is still viewable to the employer, even if it's not officially submitted. The YDI comes in when he fills out stupid joke answers on a professional application, not when he accidentally submits it.

Thats your own fault, OP. Ever heard of proof reading?

I think you completely misunderstood the post. This has nothing to do with proof-reading. OP filled in the blanks with nonsense answers on purpose to be able to save the document so he could later fill in the blanks as needed, but he didn't know pressing the 'save' also automatically submits said form without confirmation.

you totally deserve it!!

Exactly what I was saying too. A lot of people are going "YDI" on this, but this isn't a really rare occasion. I've seen plenty of application forms which ask for information you may not have handy, because you didn't expect a question like that. The nice thing of online forms (normally though, apparently not in this case) is you can save a draft to fill the rest in later. It's the digital age, this should be normal.

LOL. You deserve that one, for real!
