Today, I managed to have 17 different nosebleeds throughout the most important job interview of my life. I managed to bleed all over my own suit, my résumé, the carpet, and the corridor leading to the bathroom. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got so nervous that I actually peed my pants during a job interview. FML
Today, I went to my first job interview in months. Just minutes in, a sudden huge, uncontrollable sneeze overcame me. A wad of snot flew out onto my shirt, which I didn't even notice until the visibly disgusted interviewer pointed it out. FML
Today, I had a nosebleed at work after having recent surgery. As I was walking to the bathroom, I tripped and fell, sending blood splattering everywhere. My manager, who was walking by, looked at me and said, “You’re really committed to the bit.” I was too embarrassed to respond. 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 had an admissions interview at my dream college. I spent hours practicing questions and picking the perfect outfit. It was not until after the interview that I realized I'd scratched a pimple while waiting, and my forehead had been smeared with blood the entire time. FML
Today, I shat myself during a job interview. FML
Today, I drooled on myself during a job interview and was immediately dismissed. This isn’t the first time it’s happened. FML
Today, while getting ready for a job interview, I sneezed while brushing my teeth, splattering toothpaste everywhere and ruining my brand new dress. FML
Today, I had an interview for a job I’ve dreamt about. I sat down in the lobby and spilled coffee on my crotch. I tried to dry it in the toilet, which made it look like I’d pissed myself. When I entered his office, the HR guy glanced down and said, “Long morning?” I panicked and replied, “No, just excited to be here.” FML
Today, I went for a job interview, under the impression that I had taken my allergy medication, and had a sneezing fit. Each sneeze seemed to get louder, and every time I blew my nose, it set the sneezing off again. By the end, the entire interview panel was staring at me in disbelief. FML

Ouch, that really sucks OP. I'm sure they'll understand though, it's not like you purposefully got a nose bleed.

damn Daniel, have you seen a doctor?? I don't know much about nosebleeds but that seems excessive! Hopefully they will realize it was a medical thing and not hold it against you! I'm a recruiter and if that happened while I was interviewing someone I would have stopped the interview and made sure you were OK before continuing or rescheduled.

I would suggest seeing a doctor. My dad had a granuloma and had lots of nosebleeds... I don't think he ever had 17 at a time, though.

Sometimes high blood pressure can trigger nosebleeds. In stressful situations, like an interview, blood pressure usually goes up. Or, you may qualify to have blood vessels inside your now cauterized. Have it checked out by a doctor.

Exactly . Used to happen to my Dad until he was diagnosed with HBP. Then he got proper treatment for it. Go to the doctor, OP. oh and good luck with the job search.

I used to have nose bleeds all the time and it was super inconvenient (like the middle of my SAT back in the day). After the last 2 hour gusher I decided to get it cauterized. hurt like hell for 3 days but I haven't had a nose bleed since. Soooo worth it.
