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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 doesn't make sense.How can he have "awful experience", or that he sucks, when they just used his design? He can't be that bad if they USED his design.And he can't really be an awful person to work with, lest they've really actually worked with him.

To determine whether this is a real FYL situation we need to know, was your interviewer wearing jeans?

Actually he can sue them b/c if it is a biased reason (i.e., bad looks, republican views, etc.) then he can sue them and probably has a good chance at winning. My Aunt sued a university for not letting her be hired and she said it was because she had republican/conservative views. it worked :)

I hear that happens a lot in universities, because they generally really, really hate non-liberals. It is just so awful that they commit such idiotic profiling based on political preferences when political preferences are none of their business.

You designed the system? You alone? Maybe someone else who worked on it got the job because they had a bit of something called humility?

You are all morons. Just because he designed the system, Which he probably didnt do on his own. Doesnt mean he has any experience implementing them. And the Job he is getting and the software he has developed and sold are two different occations.

You don't have to understand the physics of the phone to use it. Some can make a million dollars using the phone, some can lose a million using the same phone, some just ignore it ringing.

I don't get it? If you built the systrm, why would you want to do the implementation? Did you sell it to them, how did you end up in this mess?
