Today, after being laid off for over a year, I got turned down for an unpaid internship. I can't even get people to let me work for free. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was let go from my internship for "not putting in enough effort". I was working 50 hours a week for almost zero pay. FML
Today, my company filed for bankruptcy, but the reorganize kind where it still functions. There are no funds to give out paychecks any time soon. They won't fire me. If I voluntarily quit, I cannot file for unemployment. I'm now an unpaid intern. FML
Today, I received my 12th rejection letter for voluntary work, as I don't have enough experience to be paid. I can't even work for free. FML
Today, as usual, I got to my internship early, did everything my bosses asked. At the end of the day, I was fired after 3 weeks of working unpaid overtime because they found an applicant with more experience for the job I applied to and they wanted to cut costs. FML
Today, after finally getting a job offer after months of unemployment, I found out that the person who was going to hire me got fired. Which means I'm not getting the job. FML
Today, it's been less than a week since I finally got a job, after over a year of searching. I just found out that there's about to be a wave of layoffs. I haven't even gotten my first paycheck, and already I'm going to lose my job. FML
Today, I was let go from an unpaid internship. The reasons cited was that I seemed unhappy at work. No, that's just my face. FML
Today, not even a week after I was laid off from my job, I got a call from my old boss. He offered me a "new" job at the company, which turned out to be just like my old one, but with drastically reduced pay. I'm so broke and desperate that I accepted. FML
Today, I completed my two-month internship, where I have been working as hard as I could with the hope of being hired. My boss couldn't remember my name, and declined to be a reference. FML
Today, I was turned down for a job because they thought I lied about having a six-month internship. Why? The secretary I told off for stealing my lunch every single day told them she hadn't heard of me, and the new company won't listen. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

are you qualified at your job path? or personality problems? or what exactly. actually, I've been laid off for a while too, but realized that I had to change some personality issues and now I'm back on track, hope u get on the ride, even if you are fat, I'm fat and I'm a successful medical representative. try harder, look harder. never give up hope. I tried out the same shoes, and now I'm shining them up again!

Don't intern unless you need school credits. Better to be unemployed and available.

I hear you OP. I got turned down for a job this morning because I didn't sound 'enthusiastic' enough. You're better off avoiding the internships, it's basically slave labor. Don't worry, you'll get something.

I feel your pain. My career as a volunteer gigolo just as futile.
