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!!

yeah I'm wondering the same thing. why would you give them your moms number? I would have gotten a cheap GO phone and used that number.

What if he couldn't even afford that...

Um, why did you give them your mother's cell number instead of yours? Even if you do not have a cell phone, you should not do that. You should have just given them your home number if that is the case. & the next time this happens, you should have just called your mom while you were there. She could have just listened to the voicemail and let you know what the message was exactly, rather than going all the way back and being way too late to go to your interview.

Yeong, not everyone has a cell phone. If he's looking for a job, chances are he does not want to pay for his own phone right now. As for using his home phone, many households don't have one anymore because cell phones are so common. And calling her from the walmart? Have you tried to use the phones in the walmart? I have. They just don't let you. I could freaking scream it's an emergency and it's just their policy not to let customers use their phones. Finally, payphones require change that not everyone has, if you can even find one these days. This is not his fault, just horrible luck and a mistake on the part of his mother. Hopefully he can call the subway back and explain.

Geez, just call Subway already and explain and ask if they can reschedule interview and you are still very interested in the job. Problem Solved. The worst they can say is no.

That's nothing. My mother intentionally didn't tell me about an interview I had until the next day. I had been looking for about five months by then! Some people can be cruel.

Then get a phone they cab reach you on or listen to the voicemail ahead of time? It's not your mommy's responsibility to make sure you go to the right interview..

YOU should've listened to the message yourself and not relied on your mother. That's how Subway would see it if you were to explain that to them anyway...
