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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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.

I've done something similar.. " this is Rachel" "hi Rachel, I'm George" "hi, I'm Rach..el.." smooth.

Not a big deal. I fumble my words all the time and just laugh it off. Every once and a while, I'll get a weird look but for the most part, no one really seems to care. Just don't stress over it. (I know, easier said than done).

i want to know why u seem to think this is an fml? this kinda crap happens to people on a daily basis. stop whining, get up, and go look in the classifieds. there are other jobs they are just hard to find right now.

Unless your name isn't Kate, there's nothing wrong with this. You simply continue on and act like you have some sense. No one is going to hold a simple conversation stumble against you, especially one like this that isn't really an inappropriate response, unless you stop and make a big deal about it.

How is this an FML? Honestly? All you have to do is politely correct yourself, and it's not like saying your name followed by a thank you is rude, unless you use it with a rude tone. And then if you did use it with a rude tone, YDI, because it's a job interview. D8
