Today, I got rejected for a job because they claimed I faked my entire resume. Their excuse? I'm too pretty to be smart. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss told me I got my new job because she rejected candidates that seemed "too confident" or "too pretty." FML
Today, my friends gave me a complete makeover, which included clothes from their wardrobe, to prepare me for an upcoming job interview. I was then declined the position, because apparently, I "looked too wealthy" to need the job. FML
Today, I accidentally put down the wrong year for my university graduation, so when my prospective boss was checking my references he found no mention of my name in that year's list of graduates. He accused me of faking my qualifications and refused to hire me. It was a 6-figure salary. FML
Today, I had my first interview after weeks of applying everywhere, but I got turned away for being "inappropriately dressed" for the interview. I was wearing the smartest clothes I own. FML
Today, I went on a group job interview, where all the applicants seem to have the same qualifications. When the interviewer dismissed all of us but the prettiest girl, outraged, I told him he was a prejudiced pig, and should be ashamed of himself. Apparently she was the only one who had a car. FML
Today, I was turned down for a job because they thought I lied about having a six-month internship. Why? The secretary I told off for stealing my lunch every single day told them she hadn't heard of me, and the new company won't listen. FML
Today, I was rejected by my crush at work, because I'm "too ripped." 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 applied for a job as a secretary. As I sat in the waiting room, the interviewer came out with his wife. She gave me a once-over, then said to her husband, "Hire this one. She's so ugly, you would never have an affair with her." FML
Today, I got fired from my job because I "look too grumpy." FML

Human Resources, Lawyer and a Lawsuit. That's all that needs to be said.

It's better than being called too ugly to be smart.

I was watching something sort of like this on tv the other day, only the woman was fired for being too pretty. Jobs nowadays... I may be exaggerating a bit, and I may be wrong, but this is just how things look from my own personal point of view: If you're too fat, you don't get the job. if you're too skinny, you don't get the job. If you have visible tattoos and piercings (at some places), you don't get the job. If you're too ugly, you don't get the job. Apparently you can be rejected for being too pretty too. I see why companies want their employees to look a certain way to an extent (such as showered and clean clothes), but since when does your appearance determine how smart you are or what you are capable of? I'm very sorry, OP.

It doesn't. . . However, attractive employees attract customers. Businesses know this and sadly for a few, some have a greater advantage than others-- capable or not.

Yeah, but that doesn't really ease her pain since they denied her for the job.

What a bunch of idiots. What you put in a resume can be verified if they were really interested in you.

What are these people thinking? They are just asking for a lawsuit.
