Today, I heard back from my store management interview at Target. I was offered an overnight stock clerk position. When I called HR to find out if my application was in the wrong file I was told I lack the leadership qualities necessary for Target. I graduated with honors from a military school. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my application for a holiday role at a department store was declined because I was "not as qualified as some other candidates." I worked this exact same job at this exact same store last year. FML
Today, I was interviewed by a WalMart employee for a position in their pharmacy. I didn't get the job. I was more qualified than the woman who gave me the interview. FML
Today, Target asked me if I would do the closing announcement. I've only been working there a little while, so excited I agreed. I told people, "The store is now closing, thank you for shopping at Walmart." FML
Today, my brother, who recently got out of prison after doing time for armed robbery, got a job at Target. I applied to the same Target six times, and was denied every time. FML
Today, I got a phone call for a interview at Target at 4:30 pm. I got super excited, so I got dressed up and headed over there. I told the manager that I was there for my interview. He didn't know what I was talking about. My friends had prank called me. FML
Today, I went into a store for an interview. I've had several places wanting to talk to me and this job was a lot lower paying. I got a little cocky and when offered the job, I said I wanted some time to finish my other interviews first and see what my options were. The manager then took back his offer. FML
Today, I have put in many job applications and had many interviews for a variety of positions all of which I am highly qualified for. Today, I heard back from all but one that I am overqualified. Welcome to Walmart. FML
Today, I interviewed potential employees for a job position that I was supposed to get promoted to. FML
Today, I was turned down for a job as a cashier at Best Buy. I worked like hell to get into and then graduate from one of the top Telecommunication schools in the country. I spent all my time with extracurriculars to help my resume instead of partying like my friends. I can't even be a cashier. FML
Today, I tried to get a job at Walmart. My mom was the hiring manager. She turned me down due to lack of work experience. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I don't get why you're complaining. Military school obviously leaves you with an inferior education for working at Target. There's stocking shelves, answering phones, operating a cash register, mopping floors. You may even have to show customers where things are located in the store. I think you may actually have to have your PhD to work there.

You graduated from military school. I don't understand why this means you have any leadership qualities or any outstanding intelligence. Everyone I know that attended military school thought it was a complete joke all the way through. I have sympathy for you.

Not all millitary schools are the same, oh perfet one. Are you sure that your friends weren't going to an Army academy? Because I have friends who go to the Air Force Academy and Naval Academy and I have attented lectures for all of them. Think collage is tough? Try it with 7 weeks of basic training. With no civilain contact. I'm sure that it's a real joke. You friends were probably flunkies. And, if he graduated from a millitary academy, he's almost certainly an officer. That means that he leads people under him daily. STFU. =)

Look at it this way: at least you got to the interview. I'm in a similar situation (top student, etc. but not from military school) and was rejected even before they asked to set up an interview

just because you were in the service and graduated with honors doesn't mean your qualified to be a manager. suck it up.

Does killing people for a living really qualify you for running a retail store and working with people??? Why the **** do military asshole always think they're great at everything just because they can follow illegal and immoral orders???

You don't kill anyone in military school, I'm pretty sure. Also, military does not equal killing for a living, and since when is every order given in the military illegal or immoral? Read a book or talk to people once in a while, and please stop getting your information from...I don't even know where you could have gotten that information from.

Um excuse you? Military school doesnt train leadership. That is if you are training to be an officer. If not, you are being trained to FOLLOW dumbass. that is the basis of the military.

I guess you wanted to write "Store Manager interview" & not "store management interview". Those guys at Target are sharp...
