Today, as a recruiter, I had an interview with a promising candidate for an open position at my company. The interview was going well until the candidate interrupted me halfway through to take a selfie. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, during a job interview, I spent an eternity telling them everything about my experience, my character, my passions, and my previous jobs. Next thing I know, the recruiter said, “Now let’s get to the part where you tell us something about yourself!” FML
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, I interviewed potential employees for a job position that I was supposed to get promoted to. FML
Today, during work hours, I took time off and discreetly went for an interview for a prospective job at our rival company. As soon as I reached the place, I bumped into my current boss. FML
Today, I walked into a door on my way in to an interview, in front of the interviewer and a group of people waiting to be interviewed. FML
Today, I had a job interview for an amazing opportunity. Too bad my nerves made me forget what the role was and where it was, mid-interview. FML
Today, I got through to the phone interview stage for a great job. When the phone rang, I answered and suddenly, spontaneously, burped really loudly. The interviewer hung up. FML
Today, my phone cut out during a call for a job interview. I tried calling them back, but there was no answer. Later, I got an email from the interviewer, saying I was no longer being considered for the position due to my being "rude and unprofessional." FML
Today, I was at a job interview which seemed to be going well until the guy saw on my CV that I prefer they/them pronouns. Now, I’m not pushy about it, but he instantly lost interest and kept checking his phone to make sure he gave me my full 15 minutes; at minute 16 I was out the door. FML
Today, I went to an important job interview, only to be told I'm not what such a "prestigious" company was looking for. This from a pimply-faced 20-something who took a personal call on speakerphone mid-interview, and actually said "LMAO" out loud at his friend's joke. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Did you at least photobomb it?

And that's how they become a not-so-promising candidate

Direct that idiot to the nearest exit and tell them to be a swagfag somewhere else.

So close yet so far. But hey, better find out now rather than later, right? You don't wanna pay employees just so they can take selfies every chance they get on the job

Society has gotten quite out of hand over the past 10 years. I remember growing up and when you went to an interview you put on a suit and tie, brought your resume and other credentials. Now people barely dress up. I have also yet to see someone actually bring a resume with them as well for their interviews.

Only the people that really want to look presentable and to show that they have matured will go that far.

You had to go to interviewers when you were growing up? Now that's getting a head start if I've ever heard of one.

Not myself, but watching my father and mother going to interviews. They would put on suits and have their resume's ready to go.

I'm not very old but the couple of job interviews I have had didn't require me to bring in my resume. I always turned in my resume with my application so it wasn't needed. I did always have one with me though just in case it was lost or misplaced, but I've had the luck of that not happening

The question is, did you give theme the job.(Even if they're unqualified in my eyes)

if the candidate is not serious about the Job then that person is not suitable for job.

And you can't get anymore non-serious than a selfie.
