Today, I spent two hours filling out an online application and questionnaire for a potential employer. The application stated that there were no right or wrong answers and to answer truthfully. I was automatically rejected. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I started to fill out a job application online, with age being one of the first things I put in. After half an hour and 40 questions, I hit submit. I was then told that I wasn't old enough to apply. FML
Today, I was rejected by a company I applied to. When I was writing my application, I spent so much time on their website researching that the ads on my browser are almost all for their products. It's like getting rejected again with every click. FML
Today, I eagerly applied for a high-salary, fully supportive graduate program that I qualified for. There were 5 steps in the application process. I was turned down after the first one. FML
Today, I got a call from the only company that asked me to come in for an interview of the many applications I submitted. I answered it even though I was at my current job. My boss heard and chewed me out. The call was to cancel the interview since the position was filled. FML
Today, I found out that I didn't get a job because I failed the psychological analysis. It told me to answer each question and tell the truth. So I did. I asked my friend, who got the job, if she told the truth. She said no. Apparently you have to lie in order to get a job. Sorry for being honest. FML
Today, my job application for McDonald's was rejected. This is the second time. FML
Today, I went to a job interview. I never applied for the job, they'd sought me out, had a phone interview, and sent samples, all before the face-to-face interview. Turns out none of the people I met with had even read my resume or writing samples. I was told I might not be a good fit. FML
Today, I filled out an online application for a internship. I didn't have all the info I need to complete it, but it wouldn't let me leave anything blank so to move along I filled in crap answers. I pressed "Save". It sent my draft in. I now have to explain that "Jesus" isn't actually my reference. FML
Today, I received a series of rejection letters from jobs, one after the other. Last night, I stayed up into the wee morning hours to apply to campus jobs I'm not qualified for, because I was classified as a part-time student due to an administrative error. FML
Today, I got a call from a potential employer. They spent five minutes explaining job duties and I listened with anticipation. Then they spent five minutes explaining why I wasn't the right person for the job. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

There are no right or wrong answers, but they are looking for somebody to work for them. So if the question was "Do you drink?" and you put "Yes, even while driving" the answer is not wrong, but you won't get the job :/

If at first you don't succeed, you aren't Chuck Norris.

If you recently lost your job, and one of the questions was "Can you drive a golf cart?", it is normal you were rejected. Word spreads fast. FYL

But that guy obviously didn't know how to drive a golf cart, it's no wonder, he just started after a brief stint as a dishwasher

Never answer those truthfully if you want to get a job. Don't exaggerate too much either, though. Tell them what they want to hear, but make it believable.

Maybe you were just not a good fit, that doesn't mean you answered wrong or do illegal things. Look at it as a professional dating service: You and the position were not a match. Or they already had even better matches on file and the position won't settle for less...

You're supposed to give them what they want to hear.

They figured I'd you took two hours to answer three questions, you are just too stupid to work there. Especially if two of the questions are what is your name and what is your address?

What... is your name? What... Is your quest? What... Is your favourite colour?

That "no wrong answers" should have been a red flag for you. Just because they say that doesn't mean you can use "Snooki" as an answer to anything.

It's ok, I can converse in my sleep... I told my friend the chickens were everywhere and coming to get me... He told me to make fried chicken and I laid back down
