Today, after being unemployed for almost two years, I was turned down for yet another job. The reason this time? I live too far from the job. I can see the building from my bedroom window. FML

I don't live on a hill, the building where I would've been working is a bit tall as well which works into me being able to see it from my window. The building is all of a mile from my flat. No, lol it isn't the Shard! I did express this to them and their response then was telling me they found someone more suited for the position. I have no clue why they didn't bother saying that in the first place though. A funny thought though, I put my postcode on my CV, so if they actually thought a little into the lie they fed me, maybe they'd have just stuck with the truth in the first place. Thanks for all the positive feedback, sorry I wasn't more clear in the original post - expressing I was a mile away from the building. Hopefully I'll get a job soon! *crosses fingers*

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Could you not say this to them?

Well, I can see the moon from my window. I don't think that qualifies me to be an astronaut.

OP you need to go back up there and tell them you live close enough to throw a rock at the building.

Next time you see him from your window open it up and yell out to him, "To bad I live to far or else I could be going in to work with you!"

Right. Because that will accomplish something.

I sometimes feel like places pick people based on looks. I'm 18 and still trying to find a job. I do community service, I know how to dress and act professionally. I'm also hard of hearing and part of me thinks it is because of that but I'm probably just paranoid.

You're doing something wrong.
