Today, I googled myself in preparation for my upcoming job interview. Turns out there's a girl on Twitter with my name and age who tweets nonstop about getting wasted and being on probation. She won't make her profile private. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found my daughter on Facebook after years of looking for her after the divorce. It turns out it was my ex pretending to be my daughter so she could track me down. FML
Today, a guy asked for my number at a party. As I was entering my number into his phone, my name and a picture of me popped up. I'm afraid I just met my stalker. FML
Today, I found out that mishearing my boss and laughing at what I thought he said can make him think I'm high and nearly force me to submit to a drug test. FML
Today, I was searched and questioned at the airport for having an apple. FML
Today, my wife, who has a drinking problem, looked me straight in the eye as she poured herself a "water" bottle to enjoy while at work. FML
Today, I showed by ID to get into a bar and the bouncer kept it because he said it wasn't me. It was. Apparently I've gained so much weight I am unrecognizable. FML
Today, a girl in my class introduced herself to me for the fourth time this semester. Am I really that invisible? FML
Today, I overheard my boss stressing out over finding a replacement for me. I didn't know I was leaving. FML
Today, my crazy ex-girlfriend legally changed her last name to mine. I'm getting married in a week. FML
Today, the guy I was seeing texted me a photo back of myself I had sent him earlier, saying I'm such a beautiful woman, suggesting that I set it as my profile pic. Too bad he doesn't think I'm pretty enough without a lot of enhancements, because he photoshopped the hell out of that thing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Any employer that's dumb enough to think there's only one person in the world with your name is an employer you don't want to work for anyway.

I'm sure you could explain the situation to employers

How does OP deserve it, if she has the misfortune of sharing similarities with a delinquent, who thinks that tweeting about being wasted while on probation is a good thing & makes her "popular" or "cool"? Hopefully, any employers that consider OPs job application and do google OP, aren't braindead faceless corporate 'yes men' who can clearly see that OP and the other twat aren't the same person. Good Luck OP.

Unless they Google her before they call her for an interview, they won't know what OP looks like. Lets just hope the other girl lives really far away.

If you find a job that uses twitter as a reliable reference then trust me you don't want the job anyway

Call the probation department. Tweets will stop once she gives a dirty urine.

effect is a noun and affect is a verb. do the substitution test...

Name and age is important, but so is location. Many jobs are best applied to with a customized cover letter in addition to a résumé. Adding the cover letter may help, or more so if you add a P.S. that is professional and concise. "P.S. I know some companies search social networking before hiring. Please note that I am based in [my city] and always have been here [or in another city, if applicable], and not [city where drunk girl is]."

I wrote it out, and it shows you're wrong and it is affect. :D

I don't get why employers would look on any social network to look at someone they're going to potentially give the job too

Well, I doubt an employer would not give a job based on little things. However, if you tweet things like "tweeting during work lol #YOLO" why should they take you seriously?

Are you THAT dense? You LITERALLY explained why you were wrong, and then insisted you were right. Effect is a noun. Correct. Affect is a verb. Also correct. "It won't effect you" Incorrect. You and effect are both nouns, with no verb. The correct form is "it won't affect you" "You" being the noun and "affect" being the verb modifying that noun. You twit. Go back to third grade.
