Today, I went for a job interview I scheduled 3 weeks ago. I spent $200 on a new suit to really impress them and practised like crazy every imaginable question they could ask. They already had filled the position 2 weeks ago and forgot to inform me. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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 had a job interview. I didn't have any clothes suitable for the interview, so I went to the store early and bought some there. After the interview, I went to return the clothes, because they were so expensive. The hiring manager saw me. 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. I got there as quick as I could, having to travel two hours into a city I'd never been to. When I arrived, they told me I was turned down for being too late. They'd rescheduled the interview an hour earlier and I wasn't notified of the change. FML
Today, I wore my best suit to an interview. I was told they didn't have any knight shifts available. FML
Today, I spent a hundred dollars on new "business casual" clothes and took two hours to get ready for my interview with a government agency. My interviewer was blind. 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, after months of job hunting, I finally got a phone interview with a company. Excited, I prepared for the interview and conducted extensive research on the company. The interview ended within a minute. They'd got the wrong person. FML
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 was kicked out of a job interview at a clothing store for "not dressing appropriately" for the occasion. I'd purchased my outfit from the same store just two days prior with my last $100. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Gah, see this is why I HATE interviews. They just treat you like dirt and expect you to lap it up in the hopes of a job.

200 bucks isn't alot for a suit xD

I always thought it was a nice price. people usually have the shirt and the tie, and usually the shoes. so all you need is the sports jacket and pants. plus it was probably just a small business, not the vice CEO of wal-mart

Maybe you ought to try to sell the suit to the person who got your job. I'm sure she is raking in some sweet cash so you can palm the suit off on her for a tidy profit. That ought to buy you enough canned cat food to make it through the winter. All the cool hobos know that it goes great with government cheese. ;)

How do you know it's disgusting? Have you ever tried it?

Whitley, the government cheese makes all the difference! We think of hobos as drunk, drug-addled, psychotic derelicts, but they really do have some culinary wisdom.

Why didn't you just rent a suit?

you're not impressing anyone with your 200 dollar suit. next time try spending at least a stack on a suit.

Well now that you have a suit and know multiple answers, to senseless questions, you can do Jeopardy.

52 that's how they spell it in Britain and most other English-speaking countries. We're the odd ones out on that.

The OP could easily be English. Calm your butts down.

you still need to migrate grammar if you're migrating currency

They used A right spelling. It's an internationally known website. Who cares WHICH spelling they use, as long as its correct according to some dictionary. I can understand correcting someone if this were something professional, but this is FML. It's right, it's just in the wrong place. I don't see why people make such a big deal about this crap.

I feel your pain. But other interviews will come along and you're bound to find the right job. That $200 won't go to waste, don't worry.
