Today, my 16 yr old cousin needed help making a job resume so I give him mine to see as an example. He changed my name to his and it got him a job right away. The sad part? I handed my resume out to about 30 places and I am still unemployed. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I applied for my first job. I didn't know how to write a resume, so I copied and pasted one from someone else and reworked it. I got on the bus, handed it in, and left. Then I remembered I forgot to change the contact info and date. FML
Today, I handed out 30 resumes only to find out, after the last resume was handed out, my brother had changed the last sentence of every paragraph to 'I am a massive douche bag.' FML
Today, I decided to modify my resume since I've handed out over 30 of them in the past couple of weeks and I haven't gotten any calls back. As soon as I opened it on word document, I noticed that I had forgotten to include my phone number for employers to contact me. FML
Today, my cousin got hired after six days of job-hunting. I graduated from university six months ago and haven't even scored a single interview; he's a deadbeat junkie who just got out of prison after doing time for armed robbery. FML
Today, I was desperately handing out resumes. I came to my local grocery store and asked for a job application, the customer service rep told me all she needed was my resume. I smiled and gave it to her only to see her read it, laugh and put it straight in the garbage as I walked out. FML
Today, I realized after turning in my resume to over 100 job openings over the past month, that the resume I've been submitting does not have my phone number or any other contact information besides my name. FML
Today, my ten-year-old sister had to write out my job application because no one can read my terrible handwriting. FML
Today, my boyfriend's 16-year-old daughter got a job. I'm 29, with a Master's degree and I'm still unemployed. FML
Today, I realized I sent over 2 dozen job applications with my dating profile word doc instead of my resume. FML
Today, being jobless and all, I tried calling my dad for a job after my many years of pride. He invited me to an interview to compete against 10 people, probably more qualified than I am. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If this isn't fake... Try putting your first initial on the resume, instead of your first name. That way, they won't see your gender in your name, and you might get your foot in the door. I've seen it work for other people... (I'm a guy, though, so that trick won't help me. Sucks.)

That sucks. Hopefully karma will come back to haunt him when his employers expect him to have experience in all the things on YOUR resume.

when his boss finds outs he's been lying, he's in for a real big deep shit!

i'm 18, & just started college. I'm not applying at some fancy ass job or whatever & i only worked at a couple of clothing stores in the past, so my cousin can easily use my resume.

Call his boss and send him your resume and while you're at it, your other bosses' phone numbers so he can check you're telling the truth.

5 page long resume? No wonder you aren't getting hired. You know they spend downwards of 30 seconds reading your resume before they decide to place it in the cylindrical file or set up an interview?

But how could the boss have believed the resume? Surely it would say some things the cousin couldn't possibly have done? FYL either way

wow that sucks. im surprised they believed him! Actually this incident was a psychological study sometime ago. Can't remember who did it but a resume with a female name was sent to some places. Later on the same exact resume but with a male name was sent to some places and it turns out that mostly males were hired. really interesting. But really sucky for you =/
