Today, my sister and I heard back from a job we both applied to. I had used the knowledge from my MBA degree to write a six-page essay for the application, while she just copied and pasted hers from a random website. Guess who got the job. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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, after I applied for an IT position at work, and a coworker I’ve worked with for 3 years, who said she had no intention on applying, wished me luck and told me, "I hope you get it!" it's now a week later and it turns out she applied the next day, got the offer and accepted. I had to find out a week later from a different coworker. FML
Today, my job interview got canceled. I later found out it's because my sister got the brilliant idea to go talk to the manager to "advocate" for me, and they thought I put her up to it. FML
Today, my ten-year-old sister had to write out my job application because no one can read my terrible handwriting. FML
Today, my sister started a full-time job with a good pay despite having no prior work experience and being a college freshman. Meanwhile, I've graduated with two degrees, have been working two jobs for the last five years, and still can't get a full-time position anywhere. FML
Today, I found out that after interviewing for two jobs at great companies, I was neck and neck with one other person for each position. They both offered the job to the other person. FML
Today, I got notice that I didn't get the new position I applied for at work. After two interviews, pay negotiation and paperwork, as well as years of giving this place all my time, I found out my boss gave it to his friend's daughter, who has no experience or credentials needed for the position. FML
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, my sister felt guilty and told me about the changes she secretly made to my résumé months ago. She'd put "doing your mom" and "corporate espionage" as my hobbies, and "Justin Bieber's pussy waxer" as a previous job. No wonder I'm still unemployed. FML
Today, I was passed over for the job of my dreams. I now have to watch as a girl I have on Facebook - a total moron - boasts daily about scoring the position instead. Turns out the interviewer was her uncle. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Work smart not hard.

You're better off not working in a place like that if they don't appreciate real effort and hard work anyway. Hope you find a job, OP.

At least one of you got the job?

I have never heard of a job application that wants a 6 page essay!! No one in HR for the company is going to want to read through that shit, maybe 1-2 pages max, I think you just wanted to try and show off your degree while trying to sound too smart, and it back fired big time! Good luck next time, but I'm gonna have to go with ydi on this one.

Well when your sister ends up not being as knowledgeable for the job as you are, she will see who really deserves it

That sucks, op. You could show them the site with her copied resume and hope for the best!

Yes, because ratting out your sister is both certain to get you hired in her place, and sure to be a great story to tell at the next family gathering. "Hey, Mom, guess who got my sister fired from the job that she needed to pay her bills. Yup, me, that's who! Isn't that hilarious?"

Well, if the sister didnt even earn the job fairly, and possibly hijacked OP and applied to take it from them intentionally why not?

Try to find evidence that she copied?

And my teacher told me copy and pasting would get you nowhere

6 pages? Have you ever hired anyone before? After you start going through all the applicants 6 pages is an instant binning.
