Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste

Keep cool
Today, after searching for a job for over a year now, I finally got an interview. The pressure made me so nervous that I passed out in the middle of it. FML

Today, I went to a very important job interview. I was so nervous that I passed out right in front of the interviewer's desk. FML

Today, I went to my first ever job interview, in a totally stressed out state. The employer's first question was: "What's your name?" I forgot. FML
not on life, that's for fucking sure

That went well
Today, I went to a big job interview. As I walked in, I tripped and fell flat on my face. Other highlights include my voice cracking multiple times, sweating profusely and getting uncontrollable nervous giggling. The interviewer eventually stared at me in disbelief and asked if I was high. FML

Uh oh…
Today, I had my first job interview in years. While I was waiting for the manager to come out I realized I had forgotten the resume that I had printed out the night before, since he specifically asked me to bring one. FML

Today, I went to an important job interview. I was really anxious but tried to soldier on anyway. When I was called in, my nerves got so bad that I reverted to speaking my second language. Not first, second. I'm pretty sure I'm not getting the job. FML

Ever decreasing circles
Today, I had to give presentation at work, for which I'd extensively prepared. However, as soon as I started speaking, I had a sudden panic attack and forgot everything I'd rehearsed. I stumbled through the presentation, feeling the embarrassment steadily grow in front of my colleagues. I almost passed out. FML
RIP job

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

Hey, you should interview at a mattress shop! You could go around saying "this mattress is so comfy, I could just-" and then pass out dramatically! I see a real future here.

After you fell asleep, at least you were calm. So you can put "Calm under pressure" as one of your strengths. A little TOO calm.

This sounded better in my head.

Actually I'd say "passes out under pressure"

Wait, you passed out in the interview room?

No. You see, what had happened was, OP was on a Safari with Nigel Thornberry in the African plains, when a lion leapt out of the tall grass and offered them some tea in the drawing room of his mansion, and the pair gratefully accepted. As the trio enjoyed Earl Grey with lemon, Tommy Pickles and his band of misfits were plotting a mischievous scheme. They escaped their prison and snuck into the lion's mansion through the cellar, which had a terribly rusted lock. You see, the gardener hadn't used it in quite some time. They simply broke off the lock and snuck inside. From the cellar they crawled into the air ducts and made their way towards the drawing room, where they intended to leap out of the vent, take the lion by surprise, tie him up and kidnap him. Little did Tommy know, though, that there was a rat in their midst. Chucky was an FBI informant, and wearing a wire. And so just as Tommy and his crew leapt out of the vent, the police burst into the drawing room. OP was so taken by surprise that he fainted in shock. What? You didn't get that from the FML? It was pretty clear.

Passed out? That's a little crazy.

Oh well OP! Keep trying, you'll eventually get a job. Just try to make it seem like a normal conversation and be confident. Confidence is key.

Don't kick yourself over it, you went through it and that's what counts. Interviews are HARD, if they weren't we would all have jobs and be yippy skippy. You'll kill it next time!

I only hope you weren't interviewing to be a pilot. Or any other job that requires you to function under pressure for that matter. Like being Miley Cyrus's father for instance

I kind of agree. If anyone is that much under pressure at an interview, it might be an idea to look for something else.

Ah. So I see we have another Miley fan. Kudos to you for not finding something or someone new to talk about by now.

Could be a useful skill if you are an actor.

Tell them that this was the job of your dreams. They'll understand, you only fell asleep to skip to the part where you were already hired.
