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

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, my mom told me that Walmart had called and I had an interview at 9:30. I went to Walmart. They told me they didn't have any interviews set up. I went back home and listened to the voice-mail on her cellphone. It was the Subway in Walmart. I've been looking for a job for 3 months. FML
WTF.
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, 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, my mom told me that she doesn't want me to help any of my friends get a job at the restaurant I work at. Apparently, she thinks that they would do a better job than me and get me fired. FML

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 unsuccessful in getting a job at a supermarket. The same supermarket I used to work at. I now have a degree but can't even get a job at a place I used to work. FML

Exactly! I got a great career without experience. If you can't even get a Walmart job without experience that's insane.

My first job was at Walmart. I was 16-17 with absolutely no experience. This person’s mom was full of it.

Depends on what job he applied to. Even at Walmart they must have jobs where you cannot start right away.

Hiring you would have been nepotism.

I think your mom was just saving you from having to work at Wal-Mart.

If you had been hired: you would have had to endure everyone saying you only got the job because of your mom.

It sounds like an entry-level Walmart, nothing to brag about.

You do not want to work in the same job your parents do especially if they are your boss. You will get a lot of hate from co workers. Also, if you mess up at work it will go back to your parent at some point along the line.

And that’s why you should’ve listened to her when she told you to ‘clean up your room’.
