Today, I was rejected for a job I really wanted, they said I didn't have enough experience. I designed the systems they are implementing. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at the one job interview I got after months of applying, I was rejected for what turned out to be a phone customer service role, because I "wasn't technical enough." Previously I worked as a website developer and I have a computer science degree. FML
Today, I was rejected from a volunteer position because I "didn't have enough experience." I have a college degree in the specific field they were asking for. FML
Today, while despairing over having been rejected for my dream job, I received an email asking me to come back in for another interview. Then they called me to say they accidentally sent the email to all the applicants, and that they definitely aren't interested. FML
Today, after I applied and interviewed for a technical position in IT two weeks ago, they informed me that I didn't get it, because I'm "too technical." How the hell is that even possible? FML
Today, I found out I didn't get accepted into a program I was nominated to attend at work that all other applicants with less experience than myself did. I found out when they asked if I had gotten the acceptance email. They didn't even bother telling me I was rejected. FML
Today, I was rejected from a job for which I was perfectly qualified, as it was in my area of expertise. The interviewer was the most annoying prick and kept on talking and "helping" me debug from the moment I opened the technical task. I ended up asking him to please shut up so that I could think for a minute. 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 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 applied for a job as a dishwasher. I was denied because I don't have enough experience. FML
Today, I applied for a new job as a maintenance technician. About 10 minutes after submitting my resume, I received a rejection letter. My girlfriend is their HR person. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You built the system, right? So create a virus and crash it, it'll cost them tons!

That sucks man. But again with the comma splices. It should either be, "...job I really wanted. They said..." or "...job I really wanted because they said..." Not "...job I really wanted, they said..." Sorry but just sayin'.

You don't say what the job you wanted was. If it was a managerial position or something, implementing the system probably wouldn't qualify you as a manager.

everyone saying to attack the system with a virus, that's pretty much just as illegal/wrong as what the company did... hackers get heavy penalties

Obviously, you have the experience, they were just trying to be polite. They didn't want to tell you to your face that you are an awful person and working with you would be like having red-hot pokers shoved up their asses. Aren't you glad I translated that for you? Oh, by the way, when your girlfriend dumps you and says, "It's not you, it's me," that really means, "It's you." YWIA
