Today, my mom told me that Walmart had called and I had an interview at 9:30. I went to Walmart. They told me they didn't have any interviews set up. I went back home and listened to the voice-mail on her cellphone. It was the Subway in Walmart. I've been looking for a job for 3 months. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I tried to get a job at Walmart. My mom was the hiring manager. She turned me down due to lack of work experience. FML
Today, I was interviewed by a WalMart employee for a position in their pharmacy. I didn't get the job. I was more qualified than the woman who gave me the interview. FML
Today, I have put in many job applications and had many interviews for a variety of positions all of which I am highly qualified for. Today, I heard back from all but one that I am overqualified. Welcome to Walmart. FML
Today, I had a job interview at Walmart. They showed a video of me stealing. FML
Today, I was in Walmart with my mom. I was looking for some CDs I wanted and saw a cute guy. Then he nodded at me and as he started to walk towards me, I hear my name being called over the intercom. Apparently, according to my mom, it was time to go. FML
Today, my roommate has a job interview. He only applied to the job yesterday. Meanwhile, I've been out of work for three weeks. I've applied to at least ten jobs. I have yet to get a call-back from any of them. FML
Today, I had a job interview today after being unemployed for months. I left early but a stranger's giant SUV had me blocked in for over two hours. I called to explain the situation in the hope that I would be given another interview slot later in the week. I was told I clearly didn’t want the job. FML
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
Today, I got a phone call for a interview at Target at 4:30 pm. I got super excited, so I got dressed up and headed over there. I told the manager that I was there for my interview. He didn't know what I was talking about. My friends had prank called me. FML
Today, I was at a job interview. The interviewer spoke to me for a few minutes, then said she would be right back, and left. I was left alone in a room for an hour and a half believing that it was a patience test. They closed the store for the day, leaving me in the interview room. FML

You should always double check those types of things instead of taking (even your mom's!) word for it!!

In my experience companies don't normally schedule interviews with voicemails. I know when I'm recruiting I'll leave a message but ask that they call back to confirm the time and date. Try calling Subway back, apologize for the misunderstanding and see if they'll schedule a new one.

But.. OP must have known which job he applied for - if he applied for BOTH subway and walmart then I see the problem. He should still have checked in subway aswell - knowing that he applied for a job there

If he's been searching for a few months he probably applied at both places. Most people don't apply just to one business when looking for a job.

Never give them your mothers number. Thats something my mother would do! You can't rely on anyone but yourself! Call subway and explain the situation and how your still very interested maybe they will understand! :/ good luck!

Umm... Perhaps you live under a rock but in reality, jobs are hard to come by. Even with a higher education or training. I'm about ready o apply at freaking Walmart too :(

Why were they calling your mom? And what's the big deal? Turn around and go back to the subway.

Big deal is not all employers will be willing to hand him another interview. While his mom relayed the wrong info he probably got excited about the possible job opportunity and might have forgotten he applied at Subway as well.
