Today, I had a job interview. The moment I walked into the room, the interviewer said, "OK, I will interview you, but there is no way I'm hiring you." FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I walked out of a job interview feeling confident because I'd really hit it off with the interviewer. He called me an hour later to tell me that I didn't get the job, since he was afraid we'd "get along too well and never get any work done." FML
Today, while waiting for a job interview, a woman sat down next to me and asked if I was here for the job too. Thinking she was also an applicant, I tried to demoralise her, and said the job was going to be a complete joke. With that, she stood up and said, "Do you still want to go into my office?" She was the interviewer. FML
Today, I went to a job interview. I really needed the job to keep my apartment. As I was being interviewed, the manager looked past me and stared off into space. There goes the job and my apartment. FML
Today, I had a job interview. The only moment I impressed the interviewer was when I talked about drama. He started to talk about a play I hadn't seen, but I decided to agree on everything he was saying. Suddenly he said, "the play doesn't actually exist." I silently left the room. FML
Today, I went to a job interview and, trying to sound confident, I shook the interviewer’s hand and said, "Nice to meet me." I didn’t get the job. FML
Today, I had a job interview that I really wanted to nail. Everything was great until the interviewer asked me why I left my last job. I meant to say, "I felt it was time for a new challenge," but instead I said, "I felt tired of pretending to care." The look on their face was priceless. Needless to say, but I don't think I'll get the job. FML
Today, I had a job interview. As I walked in, I confidently shook the interviewer's hand, only to say, "I'm doing well, how are you?" before she'd even asked me how I was, or even said anything. The rest of the interview was pretty much a blur of awkwardness. 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 went into a store for an interview. I've had several places wanting to talk to me and this job was a lot lower paying. I got a little cocky and when offered the job, I said I wanted some time to finish my other interviews first and see what my options were. The manager then took back his offer. FML
Today, I went to my first job interview. I didn't think I was doing too badly, until the interviewer said, "Wait a second, you're in high school?" I explained that the guy who'd called me had said that this wouldn't be a problem. I then watched as my interviewer left his desk to "deal" with him. FML

That's when you say "I'm actually a common-law attorney investigating allegations of incorrect labour practice. I'll listen to your excuses now, but I'm not going to believe any of them."

Ouch. Were you dressed unprofessionally or something? Without more info I can't decide if YDI or FYL.

Obviously the guy wanted to get to know you. Stalker! Report him.

It's sad but many don't dress proper where I work. One of my pet peeves are people coming in and asking to borrow a pen to fill out an application. Not prepared in my book.

Start recording on your phone, ask him to repeat himself. Then sue the ass of him for discrimination.

this bugs me in America. private business can and should be allowed to pick their employees with full discretion. best worker for the position. if they pick a less qualified white guy over an over qualified black guy, their business will suffer and their competitor can pick up the black guy and flurish.

Unfortunately, they would do exactly that. I had a manager at an engineering firm that only had a highschool degree. He was a horrible manager, and we were constantly having to conver his butt, but he was part of the good-ol-boy network. Business don't always hire the most qualified person when they're allowed to discriminate.

Maybe he was just testing your response to a situation that would evoke negative emotion from you :) Or it's possible,like others were saying,you weren't dressed appropriately for an interview.There's not nearly enough information to judge who was at fault.

You whiney little babies, OP never said he wouldn't get hired because of race, religion , age , etc etc . So all you fools crying discrimination, shut it. Most likely came to the interview looking like a slob, or late, or flaming, etc. :) Enjoy.

I'd agree if you took out "flaming"... besides being offensive, that's still discrimination
