Today, I had my first job interview in years. While I was waiting for the manager to come out I realized I had forgotten the resume that I had printed out the night before, since he specifically asked me to bring one. FML

Today, I went to my first ever job interview, in a totally stressed out state. The employer's first question was: "What's your name?" I forgot. 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, I went on an interview for a job that I had been wanting for months. I thought everything was going great. On my way out, my interviewer asked me to recycle something for him. I agreed. It was my resume. 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 had a job interview for an amazing opportunity. Too bad my nerves made me forget what the role was and where it was, mid-interview. FML

Today, I got called for a job interview. I didn't catch where it was, and in my excitement I forgot to ask. I now have no idea where I'm being interviewed. FML

Wait here

Today, I showed up on time for a job interview. After waiting for about three hours, I was informed that the manager had "better things to do" than interview me. FML

Today, I had a job interview that I had spent hours preparing for it. When I arrived, the interviewer told me the position had been filled already and they forgot to notify me. I wasted a whole fucking day for nothing. 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

Alright everyone, this site is called "Fmylife" BECAUSE people post stories about how something bad happened that normally does not. Just because this guy forgot his resume DOESN'T mean he always forgets things all the time. It DOESN'T mean that he's irresponible. You guys don't even know this man, you can't judge him. Everybody forgets things sometimes, especially when we're really nervous. Give him a break, jeez.

How is this an FML? You're just plain stupid. Always double-check to make sure you haven't forgotten anything when you're about to go somewhere important. They won't hire you, by the way. YOU: "Oh, yeah, sorry, I wrote up my resume like you asked me to, but I kinda left it at home, soooo...." THEM: "Get out." -_- Fail.

......You're kidding, right? Asking us not to judge is like asking us not to laugh at America's Funniest Home Videos. This is like the G-rated business version of a guy getting nailed in the family jewels. Timeless, classic, and always funny.
