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, 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, 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 was desperately handing out resumes. I came to my local grocery store and asked for a job application, the customer service rep told me all she needed was my resume. I smiled and gave it to her only to see her read it, laugh and put it straight in the garbage as I walked out. FML

Waste my time

Today, I had a job interview. I was almost late due to road closure and being blocked in my street by the trash truck. The "interview" turned out to be a hiring fair, with lots of other people. I had to wait outside for 3 hours in the sun with no shade, water or food. I didn't get the job. FML

Canceled

Today, I got a call from the only company that asked me to come in for an interview of the many applications I submitted. I answered it even though I was at my current job. My boss heard and chewed me out. The call was to cancel the interview since the position was filled. FML

Waste of time

By wasteoftime - 07/06/2017 20:00

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 had a job interview. I had to drop my daughter off with my babysitter first. When I got to the interview, I got a weird look from the vice president of the company. I had lime green poop running down the side of my white blouse. FML

Today, I put in an application to my local market for a job that I desperately needed. I was talking to the manager, he seemed pleased with my application and said he'll call me. As he walks into his private office, I hear the sound of a paper shredder. 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

The old switcheroo

By Anonymous - 13/03/2013 16:14 - United States - New York

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

At least you won't have to wait around wondering if you'll get a call back. You can also reuse that resume, hey!!

If he acts like he's 5 then why in the hell would you even want to work there?

Oh, I don't know, maybe it has something to do with the fact that we're in a horrendous economic state right now, and even HAVING a job of any kind is considered good fortune amidst a growing community of unemployed constantly searching for even a minor source of income? When you're in desperate need of money, the behavior of your boss tends to not matter as much.

this is fake. an employer has to keep your resume and application on file for atleast 30 days.

What the hell makes you think that? An employer can take a shit on your resume and flush it down the toilet the second they get it, if they're so inclined. Some companies may have an HR policy to keep applications on file, but there is NO law against it. Stop talking out your ass.

I don't mean to be a jerk, but chances are if an interviewer felt the need to be so rude you must have done something he felt warranted his response. I suggest you find someone to coach you on interview skills. I'm not sure what the best sources for this are (there are a lot of bad ones), but I know that a lot of temp agencies provide resume and interview assistance.
