Today, I applied for a job and sent my CV, then realised I sent the example CV I got off the internet. Now they think Bob Brown who lives at 123 Sunshine Street is applying for a job. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I applied for my first job. I didn't know how to write a resume, so I copied and pasted one from someone else and reworked it. I got on the bus, handed it in, and left. Then I remembered I forgot to change the contact info and date. FML
Today, I wrote an email for a job offer. I checked it, double-checked it, triple-checked it, and then sent it. It's only THEN that I realised my CV wasn't attached. FML
Today, I realized I sent over 2 dozen job applications with my dating profile word doc instead of my resume. FML
Today, I sent my resumé to a former coworker to get some pointers, except that I sent it to his old work email account and now my boss knows I’m looking for a new job. FML
Today, I think I've figured out why I haven't had any replies to my job applications, or just weird ones. I was sending them from an old email address, which is something like "69_party_dude_420@…" (that's not the actual address, so don't @ me!) instead of my professional one, which is listed on my CV. FML
Today, I went to a job interview. I never applied for the job, they'd sought me out, had a phone interview, and sent samples, all before the face-to-face interview. Turns out none of the people I met with had even read my resume or writing samples. I was told I might not be a good fit. FML
Today, I e-mailed an employer to ask about a job I had applied for earlier. The employer in question was on vacation. The person who replied had the position which I had applied for mentioned in their signature. FML
Today, I applied for my job, while working at my job. I hope they hire me. FML
Today, I applied online for a position and typed, "OH&S Certificate." It autocorrected to, "OH&SHIT Certificate." I didn't notice until the site e-mailed me a copy of my completed application. They'd already received it. FML
Today, the company I applied for called up congratulating me in getting the job. I was ecstatic. Quickly enough I texted a few mates that I'd got the job. Twenty minutes later they called again, saying the trainee had accidentally called the wrong applicant. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Hahah that is funny. Just wait for however long they keep the application on file and send in another one.. they won't know it's the same person since you're not really Bob Brown.

Well the positions filled now. Complaining on fml won't help. I say find this bob character and eliminate him. It may be a hopeless mission, but so is getting a job apparently.

The employers, with THEIR great attention to detail, will catch that the REAL cv you turn in will be in the exact same format as Bob Brown's, and STILL think you're incompetent. caps ftw

I don't know how CVs work, but with resumés*, you generally include a personalized cover letter as the email text and attach the resumé file. So the employer may indeed know her real name, and her error. *Autocorrect is telling me to use résumé, but that looks weird to me. pendatik, Freeze, other comrades, help me out here!

Wouldn't the first one be correct in that it means resume, as in to continue? That leads me to believe the last one's correct, then. But I've always spelled it resumé.
5t3ff1k4h 47
Hmm. Well, you learn something new every day!
5t3ff1k4h 47
Absolutely not, sir.

YDI for applying for a job. YDI for using the interweb. YDI for plagiarizing. YDI for living on Sunshine Street.

I lol'd at the last one. But I live on Sunshine Street, too. In fact, I live at 124 Sunshine Street. Bob's my neighbor!! :D

I don't think it is plagiarizing she just used a format that comes with Microsoft word or whatever she used
