Today, I got a missed call from a lady at an employment agency asking why I hadn't turned up to an information session for a potential job. Yesterday, the same lady told me the job position was canceled. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a call from the only company that asked me to come in for an interview of the many applications I submitted. I answered it even though I was at my current job. My boss heard and chewed me out. The call was to cancel the interview since the position was filled. FML
Today, I saw a missed call on my phone. Thinking it was one of the multiple jobs I applied for, I called back. Turns out it was just a debt collector. 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, I got a call from an ad agency offering me a job. I was so excited, because I've been looking for work for a few months now and really wanted to work for them. An hour later, they called apologizing, because they'd made a mistake and offered the job to the wrong person. FML
Today, I got denied a job. They told me I was unreliable because I didn't show up for my third interview. This is the same interview they called and cancelled this morning. FML
Today, I got a call and was offered a position with a company that I really wanted to work for. I just had to wait a week to confirm that everything was good to go. Ten seconds after ending the call, they called back and said that they'd called the wrong person. The offer was for someone else. 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, 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 had a job interview. I got there as quick as I could, having to travel two hours into a city I'd never been to. When I arrived, they told me I was turned down for being too late. They'd rescheduled the interview an hour earlier and I wasn't notified of the change. 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!

Reschedule. It wasn't your fault.

In my experience the companies that call back when you skip the interview are scam agencies. Maybe you got lucky.

Those places are full of idiots on my end of the world too. I suspect it would be easier to find a job if they didn't exist, even though you have to do the legwork yourself.

In all fairness, "Poopsmith" is not exactly what I would want on my resumè, either. You obviously displayed some sort of standards with the employment agency (low standards are still standards) and they didn't want you for this position. Just apply for the monkey beater position I always wanted (requires a four-year BS degree; I'm only on year 3) at a local zoo and hope for the best. Before anyone asks, yes, you will be beating off monkeys for no other reason than to keep their anger in check. Sure, the pay sucks, but you get all the bananas and fecal matter you could ever want! tl;dr - apply for "Monkey Beater" and beat off monkeys for a living

Really?? Did you bother to inform the person that you spoke to them less than 24 hours previously? If you didn't tell them that they already I formed you the job was canceled then you deserve half the blame.

"missed call" OP didn't speak to them. It wasn't that she couldn't be bothered! Could you be bothered to read the full FML? But yeah she should definitely call back and tell them that!

#17 I DID read the full FML, thanks. and you reiterated my point. I didn't know I had to type it out step by step to be understood. Missed call = return the phone call and inform the idiot on the other end that she had in fact told the OP previously that the job had been canceled. Better now? SMFH

I'm so sorry, I'm looking for work and I've had to deal with misinformation and mistakes from agencies before so I know how frustrating this must be. Do correct this though so the agency knows you weren't just a no show. Call or go in personally, speak to someone different to the last person you spoke to, ideally their superior, and explain you didn't come to the information session because that person told you it was cancelled. It's worth at least trying to tell your side of the story, you have nothing to lose. If it doesn't work out look on the bright side, at least you know now how incompetent the agency is, they would probably have forgotten to give you important information about a job, or pay you!
