Today, I finally got my phone and internet services reinstated after a billing mishap. During the week that I was without service, I had 3 requests for interviews and a position offer. None of those opportunities are still available. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally got a job interview, and I thought it went amazing. They were supposed to call me today or tomorrow with the news. Today is also the day that my phone company decided to cut my phone off. FML
Today, my phone randomly stopped working and I have three phone interviews. FML
Today, after finally getting a job offer after months of unemployment, I found out that the person who was going to hire me got fired. Which means I'm not getting the job. FML
Today, I had a phone interview, my first job interview in months. Two seconds in, I not only lost my signal, my phone froze up and stopped working completely. For six hours. FML
Today, after months of job searching, I finally got a call for an interview. Right in the middle of the call, my phone hung up so the music app could open. I tried calling them back and got no response. FML
Today, I returned from my first paid vacation in the past 2 years from a place with no cell, or internet. I've just found out that our department has been downsized. FML
Today, after having tried for months to get a promotion at work, I finally had an interview for a higher position. Everything went great, and I was told I would get a call next week for my second interview. I went back to my desk, only to get an email stating they're canceling the position. FML
Today, I missed a phone interview for a job at Telstra because Telstra's phone network was down. FML
Today, I realized I wasn't getting notifications for my voicemail, so I decided to check it and found out that I had 3 job offerings that are no longer an option. FML
Today, my phone cut out during a call for a job interview. I tried calling them back, but there was no answer. Later, I got an email from the interviewer, saying I was no longer being considered for the position due to my being "rude and unprofessional." FML

That really sucks. But why didn't you contact the places you applied to assuming and tell them if they need to get in contact with you to call a friend you trust or your parents number or something like that. This way you can at least call them back.

Maybe op filled out like 30 applications or something and forgot some of the places he even applied to?

That really does suck OP. Ask them to keep you in mind for any future positions at the companies. Could you have used the library or a friend's computer to check email though?

When it rains it pours OP. So sorry, keep trying to get work and maybe also include your email address. At least you can check email at library if you need to.

Sorry OP, but YDI. It sounds like you're strapped for cash and having a hard time paying bills. But, you're actively pursuing jobs and went a full week without going out of your way to check in? Not having internet or phone service sucks, but there are libraries and cafes with free internet and computers.

So you're assuming that "billing mishap" actually meant "didn't pay the bill." And assuming that OP has the means to get to and access to a library, or has a laptop and free internet cafe nearby.

Yes. If OP can't get to a library or an Internet cafe or even the home of a friend or family member, how will OP get to work? If I had applied for jobs I would figure out how to check my email.

I don't know about where OP lives but normally here, job offers come by phone call so Internet cafe/library isn't going to help there. Offers for an interview are usually by email but there's also an initial phone interview, so again internet independent

Hey, if a weird coincidence happened that prevented you from taking any of those positions then it must be because there's something even out there for you. Things we need to happen do and things we want to happen don't always pan out, so keep moving on. It'll all work out. You probably dodged a few bullets.

Wow, that's unfortunate. However, it's clear you are a desirable employee, so I'm certain new opportunities are on the horizon. Good luck OP!

With all of that happening in one week, I'm sure new opportunities will show up soon.

Hey guys, OP here, and I'm damn surprised this got published. To clear a few things up, I had paid my bill on time but the payment had been applied to a different account by accident causing my service to be cut off. I spent a whole week being given the run-around by the billing department and customer service before finally getting answers and my service restored. As for not being able to check in, I work 2 jobs and by the time I get done work both the library and Internet cafes are closed. As for how I managed to contact the phone company, when my service got shut off the only number besides 911 I could dial was the billing department hotline. Hopen this clears a few things up!

I just saw this so disregard my comment ha. At least you have jobs though? Sucky as they may be considering you are looking elsewhere.

I go to college and work full-time. I haven't had internet for about 6 months. I do go to public libraries and use their internet. I have the free government phone and between that and the public libraries, I never miss a thing.
