Today, I went for a lunch interview for my dream job. The interview was great and at the end, I tried to seal the deal by complimenting my future boss. I said, "You're really hardworking. Do you always work on a Saturday?" He looked at me, smiled and then wrote something down. Today's Friday. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I had a phone interview with my potential new boss. I was getting excited about the prospects of landing a great job. I had nailed every question the man asked me and right after he told me he'll call me tomorrow if he wants me to come in I sweetly said, "Talk to you tomorrow, Love you" FML

Today, during work hours, I took time off and discreetly went for an interview for a prospective job at our rival company. As soon as I reached the place, I bumped into my current boss. FML

Objectification

By cmck932012 - 26/06/2012 06:18 - United States - Tyrone

Today, at a job interview, my interviewer bent forward and I admired his ass. When he turned, I couldn't tell if he caught me or not. At the end of the interview he shook my hand in congratulations of getting the job, then said, "Yes, I do work out." I have to see him every day now. FML

Today, I was talking to my boss at the end of an awesome internship. He said he was really satisfied with my work, and that he had considered hiring me. Turns out he decided not to because I smile too much, and it freaks him out. 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

Toxic workplace goals!

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

High expectations

Today, I was super flattered to find out that one of my former white collar colleagues recommended me for a job. It wasn’t until the phone interview that I realized it was at the lunch counter at her new office building. FML

Don't really see how that would effect the rest of the interview.

How do you not know what day of the week it is? Especially if you have an important appointment like a job interview.

OP - That'sa so funny but like everyone said I'm sure it won't hurt you too bad. #28 - Not everyone lives in your time zone. It could've been Friday for them and not you.

Haha I don't think it's that big of deal to foget what day it is. If you're what he's looking for there's no wa he won't give it to you over a tiny mistake like that.

DID YOU GET THE JOB?

yea its not that big of a deal EVERYONE does it once in awhile. this by no means will determine if you get the job or not and #14 if everyone only got jobs based on their work related experience, more than half the workforce would not be in their current position. Once you graduate from highschool its no longer about WHAT you know, but WHO you know. I know plenty of times either I or one of my friends/colleagues got an internship/job NOT because they were the best suited for it but because they had some type of rapport with the person in charge of hiring. To say that the best suited individual will get the job only happens in a perfect world and we all know that this one is far from perfect.

No offense, but that was a bad compliment anyway. Anyone can tell you were obviously trying to suck up.

49 is the only one who has it right. That is such a shitty compliment even if it were Saturday. ANYone who interviews you would see through that and think that you were a complete idiot. If you want to land a job, give compliments that show off your intelligence; not 'compliments' that just go to show him that you aren't a hard worker like you have just so clearly reminded him he is.
