Today, the job search agency that I use asked me to stop sending in my resume, as no one had hired me in three years, and that the situation was unlikely to change. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after waiting 3 months to see if I got the job I had applied for, I was told that they never received my application. Turns out that the email address that they told me to send it to was not being checked anymore and that they would be happy to consider me for the following year. FML
Today, after three interviews, I accepted an offer for my dream job and submitted my notice. The company called me to say they couldn't contact my referees and have now withdrawn the offer. I'm now officially unemployed. FML
Today, I've applied to 300 jobs in the past 4 months, gotten 7 interview, 2 of which have gone to a third round and I'm still unemployed. FML
Today, I went to an interview for a job at a company I've applied for numerous times this year. When I showed up at the interview room, I found it was a vacant office. I called and confirmed the address. I guess this was my hint to stop applying. FML
Today, I received a letter telling me I'm not qualified for a job I've been unofficially doing for the last three years. It's the fourth letter I've gotten since applying. I guess it wouldn't be too bad if I didn't have to train the new person who got the job instead of me. FML
Today, I've been job searching desperately for years. I'm always either rejected or the places just do not contact me, or they are too far away. No license and no cell service. Not even a Thanksgiving meal this year. I wanna give up. FML
Today, I received an email from my potential employers at the zoo, saying that they won't be hiring me. This wouldn't be so bad if they didn't keep sending me the same email every two hours to remind me that I am still unemployed. 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, 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, I have applied to over 50 different jobs in the last month. I have NOT received a call or email back from any of them. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

How bad does your resume have to suck for this to happen?

Are you serious? How many thumbs down does one have to get to realize what NOT to say?

or fix the resume...

Or look for jobs on your own... Because it shows a real lack of dedication to get someone else to find a job for you. Just my opinion.

so you would only spend 1 month looking for a job? benefit cheats are a big problem, and this is why. OT: try somewhere else. or become a hooker.

Try a temp agency OP. It's a good way to get your foot in the door somewhere, will give you lots of exposure, and will hopefully help you meet the right people who can land you a permanent job.

Putting sex god on your resume isn't actually that good of an idea, some people are insecure that their partner might find out

Agreed. Like honestly if the stoners have jobs, it can't be that hard to get one. Start low on the job list. Like taco bell lol.

It's different when you apply at places like Walmart. They are always hiring.

Since the traditional career path isn't working out for you, maybe you should consider a **** role

Maybe it was written with crayon.

So I can't write my college application essays in crayon? :(?!

Your application to Clown College, yes...

Even clown college expects your crayons used for applications to be pretentious and overpriced.

Well, In this economy? I bet his resume didn't suck at all.

I'd start sending my resume to them everyday now! After all, someone there has to process it, so you are keeping someone employed!

And annoyed out of their ******* mind. I would probably just memorize op's name and just trash the resume every day.

How do you not work for three years? Do you live with your parents?
FreakingFYou 13
Loving parents there, I would be forced to work as my mom's receptionist.

Find another agency and repeatedly send it to them instead.

Why don't you fix your resume instead of complaining on FML? I'd think that'd be a good place to start.

OP is from Aus and any of the job agencies here who are doing their job right would have made sure the OP's resume was professional looking and relevant to the jobs.. Maybe OP is totally unskilled, in which case they should be looking to study at a TAFE college or something, all at the governments expense :)

my b/F's in the same boat. Go to a bunch of temp services, good luck

maybe it just wasn't ment to be. Do it old school, get off your ass and find one.

Agreed with #4 by no one hireing you for 3 years means someone over there isnt doing their job.
