Today, I had a job interview. The only moment I impressed the interviewer was when I talked about drama. He started to talk about a play I hadn't seen, but I decided to agree on everything he was saying. Suddenly he said, "the play doesn't actually exist." I silently left the room. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a job interview. The moment I walked into the room, the interviewer said, "OK, I will interview you, but there is no way I'm hiring you." FML
Today, I had a job interview that I really wanted to nail. Everything was great until the interviewer asked me why I left my last job. I meant to say, "I felt it was time for a new challenge," but instead I said, "I felt tired of pretending to care." The look on their face was priceless. Needless to say, but I don't think I'll get the job. FML
Today, I walked out of a job interview feeling confident because I'd really hit it off with the interviewer. He called me an hour later to tell me that I didn't get the job, since he was afraid we'd "get along too well and never get any work done." FML
Today, I had a job interview. I have a speech impediment and as much as I tried to keep it under control, it came out during the interview. I could tell the interviewers were trying to hold in their laughter. They ended the interview after 5 agonizing minutes, saying they’ll contact me. I left in tears. FML
Today, I had a job interview. As I walked in, I confidently shook the interviewer's hand, only to say, "I'm doing well, how are you?" before she'd even asked me how I was, or even said anything. The rest of the interview was pretty much a blur of awkwardness. FML
Today, I walked into a job interview, then turned round and walked back out again. The interviewer was a one-night stand that ended very badly months ago, and she remembered me. I could see in her face the interview was pointless, so instead of grovelling I went to the pub to drown my sorrows. FML
Today, while waiting for a job interview, a woman sat down next to me and asked if I was here for the job too. Thinking she was also an applicant, I tried to demoralise her, and said the job was going to be a complete joke. With that, she stood up and said, "Do you still want to go into my office?" She was the interviewer. FML
Today, I went to an important job interview, only to be told I'm not what such a "prestigious" company was looking for. This from a pimply-faced 20-something who took a personal call on speakerphone mid-interview, and actually said "LMAO" out loud at his friend's joke. FML
Today, I had a job interview. It went really well until I couldn't figure out how to open the slide door to get out of the room. FML
Today, I had a job interview for an amazing opportunity. Too bad my nerves made me forget what the role was and where it was, mid-interview. FML

That's why you don't lie during an interview.

You could've tried being a kissass. -The play doesn't actually exist. So you made that up ALL by yourself? Wow, sir, you have an extremely creative mind! I am flabbergasted by the magnitude of your broad imagination. Wait. WAIT. I think I know of a friend who directs plays. He would be so happy if he knew of an angel like you. -Oh my.. *Shy Laugh*

You thought of that all by yourself? Wow! I don't recall ever having read your comments before or you just didn't make a lasting impression on me but reading this fantastic example of kissassery I'm truely impressed and convinced that I have most certainly NOT read your comments before because if I had I surely would have constructed a stalk button just for the sole purpose of continually reading and praising your entertaining and well thought out comments.

30 Wow nice kissing ass to 16, although I'm curious as to how you haven't seen any comments by that brilliant masirdam since he/she comments on plenty FMLs.

You know what else doesn't exist now?... your employment. Lying during a job interview will eventually backfire if you're not careful. You may have been duped, but that doesn't mean that you can't learn from it.

@OP -- I'd say YDI for lying, but the interviewer lied, too. So, if you said something like "I agree with what you say this character did", there's nothing wrong with that; you never knew that the interviewer was lying! So, I say, final verdict is: I agree, your life sucks. :-( Also, look it up, whether the interviewer lied about lying. :P And, I hope you get a better interview (and job) soon. :-)
