jamminguitarist tells us more.
Sorry, let me clarify. There was a business opening up in our area, so there were many openings up for the jobs. We wanted to both get jobs there. They did group interviews then passed the ones they liked onto the next one. We were in the same group interview and he made it past. I wouldn't be stupid enough to tell him about a single job that was available, but I was stupid enough to think we would both be hired :P but I went job hunting afterwards and one of the places is interested and it's a better overall job so it's not an FML anymore

If there is ONE open job, it's pretty stupid to think you can both have it...

The OP said 'We thought it would be fun working together.' Evidentally, neither of them are that bright.
XD i missed that =p lol yea, deffinitely a little dim
Who said anything about there being "one job open"? I'm guessing that the OP applied first, they were impressed with the friend, they were not impressed with the OP. Even if the friend hadn't applied there is no guarantee the OP would have gotten the job since they were not impressed with the OP.
i agree
YDI for deserving it...

Are you guys stupid? How could you think you'd be working together if you apply for one and the same job? Especially you are to blame for not convincing your "competitor" to not apply or lay down after he got the job. So, YDI.
cool
That's why I don't tell my friends about my ideas until after I've done them or I am in the process of doing them. You may never know who might want a piece of your success.
O.o Lol. Same thing happened to my sister's boyfriend. Tough luck man. Sorry.

They could smell your stink of desperation and thought you might end up stealing from them. Your friend seemed cool, and therefore, trustworthy. Desperation is not a good vibe to put out when looking for a job, or a date, for that matter.

FYL. I'm sorry. :(
Just be happy for your friend. If you were denied the job it's not likely that you'd get it anyway - unless no one else applied.
oh
