Today, I went to my first ever job interview. I thought I was doing well, until the recruiter asked why he should hire me. The only thing I could say was "Because I'm really, really nervous right now?" FML

Let me elaborate. It was yesterday when this happened and I submitted the FML, just to cheer myself up. I am a recent graduate and it was at a job fair, not a scheduled interview but to my surprise one of the recruiters started interviewing me right away. I was unprepared and got flustered and started saying that. But the good news is that they indeed seemed to like me enough to email me for a real interview next week! All prayers appreciated! Thank you all for your wonderful comments.

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

@15 I realise you're just a neck somehow using the Internet, but wow. You live for the thumbs down, don't you?

@61 Lol mate, a large proportion of the FML community has always been conservative/alternative/plain janes. Thats why so many people who have said politically incorrect comments have been banned. So everytime I get a big lot of thumbs downs, it just reminds me that I'm normal. xD

If you don't get a job, look at this as practice towards your next interview.

This happened to me at my first job interview, the unfortunate thing is I get cocky when nervous and I blurted "Well, why should I hire you as an employer? Why should you hire me? You should hire me because you'll be making a regrettable decision if you dont." I got the job in the end.

This reminds me of the FML where the guy said, "Because I'm awesome!" Edit: #8 beat me to it.
