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?

It was probably Carly Rae Jepsen calling. The message simply said... Oh, nevermind.

I think it's a bit strange that you were called from a restricted number about getting a job...

To everyone thumbing me down, what I'm saying is, when you have gotten a call from a company about a job (if you're old enough), was it a restricted number? I'm not saying it's fishy or anything, I just think it's a little different because these things happen and that's why you shouldn't call from restricted.

Time to get Google voice? They offer transcripts for your voicemails.

I dunno. If a human can't work out what was said, I don't think an automated computer system would have much of a chance.

Yesterday I got an email about a job application. I'm happy they emailed, makes it so much easier to understand the information. I've been slightly sick with a cold or something, but scheduled an interview anyway because it barely affected me at all. Today I woke up much more sick than I've been for the last few days. I have until Thursday to get better in time for my interview.

Good luck Batman!

Thank you! I'll let you know if I get the job. Seriously, I'll send you a message when I know.

It's obvious that they're calling from Charlie Brown's school, Wahwahwahwahwahwah Elementary. Bring your own Febreze in case you get Pigpen in your class.

Well how did you reach them before? Try that, like writing a letter by mail. If that doesn't work, I'm sorry OP, but #1 is right. It's time to cry.

That sucks. On the other hand, do you want to work for someone who cannot communicate clearly on a phone?

Time to start guessing. Or go by each place you applied too.

Could you go to all the stores that you applied to and ask?
