Today, after weeks of begging, I finally got an interview at my dream job. Turns out, they only agreed to interview me because they thought I was someone else. FML

OP here. Guess I used the wrong wording. I didn't really "beg", I did the whole apply, wait, go in and follow up thing. Only problem is that when I followed up, I gave my first name only. My name isn't that common, so I didn't realize there would be another one. They did like me, they just wouldn't have interviewed me because I didn't have enough experience. This actually happened about a month ago (had to fudge it for FML of course P: ), and since then I've gotten a different job and am working to get that experience. So happy ending :)

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Why would you "beg" for an interview in the first place? Maybe it's just me, but that's highly unprofessional.

Win is 99 failure and 1 success. So you've not defeated yet. In the other words, you turn in the first step to the winning.

Just explain why you're a better candidate and emphasize that the meeting is kismet and it's fate way of presenting them with a better option since there truly are no accidents simply opportunities.

Sorry you even had to clarify that. Some people just enjoy taking things too literally and don't quite understand the meaning of the word "exaggeration." ;) Congrats on getting a different job to buildup your experience though!
