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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

Im sure you are frustrated over this, but if they dont call back maybe it just wasn't meant to be. Good luck in your job search though.

YDI for not answering the phone

I hate when that happens. FYL op, as a recruiter I would have sent an email as well.

Call back every place you sent your resume and tell them you want to confirm they got it and let them know that you're really interested. You might even find a better job offer, who knows. Good luck !

Maybe let someone else listen to it and see if they can understand him.

Well, since caller ID is out thanks to the restricted number, what about *69?

Since caller ID is out due to the restricted number, what about *69? Also, why were you unable to answer the phone? If you're unemployed and that desperate for a job, you couldn't have been that busy if you missed such an important call. Just wondering.

They may not have it available on their phone, or have to pay a charge for it that they can't afford to pay if they don't have a job even if it is a very small charge. I'm also sure that they still have friends and a life outside of looking for a job (especially if they are out of work, they probably need the stress relief of having fun and support of a friend), maybe they were to busy hanging out with a friend, or were in the process of handing in an application and didn't want to look unprofessional or unavailable to have an interview on the spot if the opportunity had presented itself. They could have been in the bathroom, or perhaps sleeping.... because you know you don't stop needing to do these things because you are looking for a job. There's plenty of reasons they could have missed the call. Nobody can monitor the phone the whole entire day. Also they never said they were unemployed, just job searching so they could have a job but be trying to find something better. Anyway, sorry OP, that sucks. Hopefully you find something soon.

Tomorrow on fml: "today, after spending all day yesterday calling back prospective employees to schedule interviews, none of them called me back."
