Today, I had a job interview, for which I spent hours preparing. My interviewer was nothing more than a pimple-faced teen, and after only two minutes of reviewing my qualifications, he lost interest and started asking such questions as which Hogwarts house is my favorite. 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 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
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 a job interview that I had spent hours preparing for it. When I arrived, the interviewer told me the position had been filled already and they forgot to notify me. I wasted a whole fucking day for nothing. FML
Today, I had a job interview. The night before, I'd noticed a small pimple forming on my chin and did everything I could to make it go away. During the interview, I couldn’t focus on anything except the giant pimple that had sprouted on my forehead. I spent the entire time trying to keep my fringe in front of it. FML
Today, I had a Skype interview for a wonderful new job. I was calm, cool and ready to land it. But just like in a bad movie, the interviewer ended up being the creepy guy I turned down repeatedly in high school and in our 20s. He smirked and told me I could continue, but it would be pointless. 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 the bathroom after a terrible job interview. My interviewer walked in with another guy, talking about my interview, saying he was obviously going to hire the other guy because my odd-sounding name was too hard to pronounce, yet alone spell in multiple emails. FML
Today, I had an admissions interview at my dream college. I spent hours practicing questions and picking the perfect outfit. It was not until after the interview that I realized I'd scratched a pimple while waiting, and my forehead had been smeared with blood the entire time. FML
Today, I had what I thought would be an important (and formal) interview. Not only did I turn up completely overdressed, the man who was interviewing me arrived 30 minutes late. To top it all off, I was so distracted by his mysterious total lack of eyebrows that I forgot everything I had to say. 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

" Pimple-faced teen." hahaha. At least he didn't ask whether you were team Edward or Jacob.

As long as you didn't say Hufflepuff, you should be fine.

What's wrong with Hufflepuff?

What's not wrong with Hufflepuff?! Only the duffers who don't fit anywhere else go to Hufflepuff! "Said Hufflepuff 'I'll take the lot, and treat them just the same." Rejects, the lot of them.

And I would correct the wording error, but the phone will probably replace something else. Very Slytherin of you, phone!

I hope you didn't say that you don't know anything about Harry potter. You probably wouldn't get the job then.

its a very valid question.

Sounds to me like you nailed the qualifications, and the kid was just testing your responses under pressure. Either that or he didn't give a **** and just wanted to get you the hell out of there so he could go see The Dark Knight.

Did you hear that there was a shooting at the midnight premiere of the new batman in C.O.? Sad.

Yeah, it's one of those things you'd never expect to happen at the movies. Box office is going to suffer.

PUNKED?

He might not have been impressed with your qualifications.

Are you kidding? That is a perfectly valid question. It can also be a judge of character. YDI for not appreciating the "pimple-faced teen"'s genius. Also, I hope you said Ravenclaw.

I hope you said Gryffindor.
