Today, I had my first job interview in months. The interviewer started by introducing herself and asking how I was. I got caught between introducing myself and telling her how I was and replied, "I'm Kate thanks." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to my first ever job interview, in a totally stressed out state. The employer's first question was: "What's your name?" I forgot. FML
Today, I had a job interview. As I walked in, I confidently shook the interviewer's hand, only to say, "I'm doing well, how are you?" before she'd even asked me how I was, or even said anything. The rest of the interview was pretty much a blur of awkwardness. FML
Today, I reported in for my first day at work. When I walked in they asked "Who are you?" I answered "Cassie, it's my first day today" with a huge smile. They'd meant to call and offer the job to the other Cassie they interviewed. FML
Today, I had my first job interview for eight months. My interviewer noticeably yawned during my reply to the first question. FML
Today, I went to a job interview and, trying to sound confident, I shook the interviewer’s hand and said, "Nice to meet me." I didn’t get the job. FML
Today, during a job interview, the interviewer asked me to "tell me a little about myself." Nervous, I started with, "Well, I was born at a very young age…" I'm pretty sure I won’t get the job. FML
Today, I went to my first job interview. I didn't think I was doing too badly, until the interviewer said, "Wait a second, you're in high school?" I explained that the guy who'd called me had said that this wouldn't be a problem. I then watched as my interviewer left his desk to "deal" with him. FML
Today, I had my first interview in over a year. I panicked and passed out. FML
Today, I had a job interview that I really wanted to nail. Everything was great until the interviewer asked me why I left my last job. I meant to say, "I felt it was time for a new challenge," but instead I said, "I felt tired of pretending to care." The look on their face was priceless. Needless to say, but I don't think I'll get the job. FML
Today, I had my first job interview in ages. I went in early, but instead of anyone telling me, they waited for the manager to come and get mad at me because it was supposed to be an online interview. I apologized and we went ahead with the interview, but she seemed disinterested and annoyed. I don’t think I got the job. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well that sounds weird but it shouldn't have killed the interview by any means.

It sounds like she was just saying her name and thanking the interviewer, which is not a big deal.

This isn't much of an FML. It happens too often and is only briefly embarrassing. You deserve it for being dumb and posting it on here.

That's really not that bad...

Well actually, 20, it is in indeed an FML, seeing as how it was submitted and confirmed. Do I sense animosity that perhaps may be due to the fact that 8 of yours have failed to be confirmed? Are you upset that your misfortunes aren't even worthy of being mocked and laughed at?

I believe sirEBC has just won whatever it is a'^win' gets you. I heard it was an all inclusive trip to The Bahamas but budget cutbacks from FML headquarters have lessened the prize somewhat..

"I'm Kate, (good), thanks." Is that the problem? That you didn't answer how you were doing? Most interviewers would understand that people get nervous during an interview. I think you're making a bigger deal than it really is.

Agreed!

And then you continued with "oh my god I'm so stupid why did I say that I'm so sorry oh no I have to go now!!" How about finishing the sentence with "...for giving me the opportunity to talk with you today." Then you'd be in great shape. Unless your name isn't Kate...
