Today, after months of job searching, I finally got a call about one of my applications. I wasn't able to answer it, but he left a voicemail. I've listened to it over and over, and I can't understand the contact information. He called from a restricted number. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while checking my voicemail, I noticed I had received one from a job that I've been trying to get in for months. Too bad they called two weeks ago. FML
Today, I missed multiple calls from the company I applied to. That was the supervisor calling, wanting to hire me. I then remembered my idiotic voicemail I made months ago where I pretended to answer and say stupid stuff for 5 minutes. I don't think I'm going to get the job. FML
Today, a voicemail suddenly appeared in my messages. Last week I missed a call from an Unknown caller, and no number was listed. Turns out they wanted to arrange an interview for a job I really wanted. They left a number in the voicemail, telling me to call them back that day if I was interested. FML
Today, after months of job searching, I finally got a call for an interview. Right in the middle of the call, my phone hung up so the music app could open. I tried calling them back and got no response. FML
Today, after being unemployed for over four months, I got a call from a company I've wanted to work for for over 2 years. After they were about to set up an interview, they called me by a different name. After correcting them, they hung up on me. Turns out they had the wrong number. FML
Today, I was called by a restricted number. The man on the phone then explained to me in detail what I was doing at every second that I was on the phone with him. I'm scared to leave my house. FML
Today, I checked my inbox and realized I got an email from a potential employer, saying they were having trouble getting a hold of me by phone. They called while my mom was using my phone to look up directions to a place, and she answered, kindly hanging up when they asked for me. FML
Today, after applying at over 30 businesses over the past 6 months, I have had not one single call. I later find out that I was using my old phone number on the applications, and my secondary phone was my mom's. She thought they were telemarketers. FML
Today, I'm looking for a job, and the employer I spoke to by phone was busy, but before hanging up he said, "We'll call you soon." I still wonder how he plans to do so without even having asked for my number. FML
Today, I have been waiting for a call from a job I applied for. I soon got a text from my current boss, who doesn't know I'm job hunting, letting me know that the recruiter was trying to reach me. It turns out that the phone number on my resumé was wrong. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You don't have the slightest clue what bipolar is, do you?

Dude that happened to my brother. But he had applied to so many places that he couldn't recall them all, and unfortunately lost the opportunity.

You guys need to read the entire post before you comment. HE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND THE CONTACT INFORMATION. He can't just call back or he would have and there would be no post.

"got the job. Fml"

Care to explain the last sentence.

28, she means "He can't simply call back. If he could have, he would have. And if that was the case there would be no FML." This is why there is so much miscommunication out there. If you have bad grammar, you need excessive patience or you'll get nowhere. No patience? Better hit the language books. Etc.

As olpally says.... HOLY RUN ON SENTENCE BATMAN! Commas, periods, etc. Learn them, use them.

You better have a good reason for not answering b/c you obviously weren't working.

Some people happen to go out during the day to do things like shopping, visiting family,appling for jobs and taking a shower even sometimes to go to school. Why would he need a good reason to be gone? Its his life and he is not going to stay in his house because he doesn't have a job

47- You are 16 years old wtf would you know about bills providing for someone other than yourself. Maybe you would understand the urgency if you weren't some prototypical teenage girl.

It couldn't be possible that he might have been taking a shower or shit, or something like that?

I doubt it #41, employer's will usually just move on to the next applicant

Back from the dead, Voldy, didn't Harry already kill you?

Did you specifically apply to a place that helps the speech impaired? If so, don't work there- it clearly hasn't helped the hiring manager...

Where did you send your application? Retrace and use your initiative, no wonder it has been months. Dumbass.
