By Not a programmer yet - 01/09/2015 15:30 - United States - San Francisco

Today, my boss told me that the company will be hiring a programmer for our department. I had the idea for the position when we went over my 3-year career path last month, but it wasn't approved. I now get to look over résumés from other people applying for my dream job. FML

Maybe you could ask about it before starting to look through the résumés

You could submit your resume' along with the others. I'm assuming, of course, that your boss gets the final say.

That really sucks OP, but at least you didn't get fired or anything and you're still employed. Hope you get to be a programmer later in life. :)

Be straight with your boss and tell him about your idea. He might give it to you!

He already told his boss the idea. It was turned down. That was the whole FML :/

I am gathering that since OP is short list people, slipping in his own resume could be seen as a conflict on interest and possibly get him fired. Only real way around it is to approach his manager about it.

A similar thing happened to me a few years back. They don't deserve you.

Maybe time to move on. I'm sure there are other firms offering jobs in programming.

Plenty of places are looking for programmers, however you need experience and need to be able to prove you can do it.
