Today, after spending 8 months and $11,000 on school, I was denied a job in my chosen career field. They told me they decided to go with someone with more experience. So who got the job? One of my classmates. This is her first job. EVER. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I received a call telling me I had not gotten a job I would have been a perfect fit for. The hiring manager told me they "went in the opposite direction" and chose to hire someone with less experience, so they didn't have to pay them as much. She made sure to tell me I was still the better candidate though. FML
Today, I got notice that I didn't get the new position I applied for at work. After two interviews, pay negotiation and paperwork, as well as years of giving this place all my time, I found out my boss gave it to his friend's daughter, who has no experience or credentials needed for the position. FML
Today, I got my first job after having spent months looking, and graduating college in the meantime. I got it based on my pre-college qualifications. FML
Today, after graduating from the same program, I was offered several jobs, while my boyfriend wasn’t. He couldn’t be happy for me, saying, "She got in with the right people, and they just keep handing her jobs," and dismissing my work ethic. FML
Today, I was passed over for the job of my dreams. I now have to watch as a girl I have on Facebook - a total moron - boasts daily about scoring the position instead. Turns out the interviewer was her uncle. 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, while waiting for an interview at the career that I've been spending months tailoring my résumé for, I was thrown up on by my only competitor. Guess who got the job. FML
Today, I found out that the money I spent on a very specific degree was wasted, because apparently, I don't qualify for a job at the place that told me I had to have that degree. FML
Today, my sister started a full-time job with a good pay despite having no prior work experience and being a college freshman. Meanwhile, I've graduated with two degrees, have been working two jobs for the last five years, and still can't get a full-time position anywhere. FML
Today, I eagerly applied for a high-salary, fully supportive graduate program that I qualified for. There were 5 steps in the application process. I was turned down after the first one. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's because she was willing to do some under the table business.

maybe she had better marks then you and had a better interview and them saying that was a nice way of rejecting you so just an idea but work on your interview skills

You only spent 8 months and $11k and you're complaining about not finding a job? Most of us have spent many times that and several years in school to pursue jobs in our chosen careers, and are having about as much luck as you are. Seriously, you're better off than most people, having only this much student loan debt and having only spent that much time in school. I won't say losing the job to someone less qualified doesn't suck, but there are other jobs out there.

um 8 months is nothing. just finished up my sophomore year at [Penn state and i still have 3 more years to go. where did you even go, itt tech or something like that. get off your ass and at least go for a associates degree or something of the sort, it will get you much farther ahead.

Are u proud of yourself or something? Not everyone dedicates their lives to go be a doctor. Quit bragging.

8 months? wow... what is that two or three semesters? try getting a degree first. I've been in school for three years, guess how much I've spent. your classmate probably has spent just as much as you have. suck it up and keep trying.
