Today, I filled out an application for a job at Dairy Queen. I handed my application to the manager along with my résumé, and he said he'd be in contact with me. Not even five minutes after I left, a friend who works there sent me a picture of my crumpled-up application in the trash. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, my job application for McDonald's was rejected. This is the second time. FML
Today, I submitted my application to a restaurant as a server. The manager, who is more than 30 years older than me, said he'd be calling me. He later texted me asking for a date instead of giving me a job. FML
Today, I put in an application to my local market for a job that I desperately needed. I was talking to the manager, he seemed pleased with my application and said he'll call me. As he walks into his private office, I hear the sound of a paper shredder. 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
Today, I was supposed to have my first job interview for a bakery franchise. Turns out all the applications are submitted to every store, and I was called to the wrong one. FML
Today, I spent two hours filling out an online application and questionnaire for a potential employer. The application stated that there were no right or wrong answers and to answer truthfully. I was automatically rejected. FML
Today, I received my fourth rejection email from McDonald's after applying for one position with them a few weeks ago. 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 got a call from the only company that asked me to come in for an interview of the many applications I submitted. I answered it even though I was at my current job. My boss heard and chewed me out. The call was to cancel the interview since the position was filled. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

What's funny is you thought Dairy Queen deserved a résumé!

Every position you apply for deserves a résumé. Providing the company you are seeking employment from with a résumé is not only proper protocol, but it also shows your motivation and respect for said company.

Hot or not, OP? On a more serious note, this FML makes it sound as though he threw it away before even reading which could mean they arent hiring. Hiring or not however, it's very rude to cast aside ones requests.

Wow, some friend. When I was stuck in retail, they would keep applications around for a long time, no matter how bad it was. So either that's someone else's thrown in the trash and your "friend" is ******* with you, or the manager did something he probably wasn't supposed to and your friend is ******* with you.

If you live in the US, that's AWESOME, cause you just found yourself a job! That action is illegal in the US and can be punished by a hefty fine, civil liability and loss of a business license. So go remind him of that and get your job.

If you have to threaten legal action to force them to employ you, they probably wouldn't make your time there very pleasant. I'd have to be pretty desperate for work in order to bull my way into a job where I wasn't wanted. I know times are tough, but I hope you think about that before you take the advice of all the people telling you to sue.

Maybe they think you're too qualified and will leave when a better opportunity opens up? That would be a waste of time and money for them to train you and stuff so idk maybe that's why?

Maybe. The same thing happened to me. Except they rescinded the job offer after I accepted out of desperation due to being unemployed for 2 months. They felt I would leave (which was true) at the first available opportunity because their offer was less than half of what I previously made.

I make half of what I did 15 years ago.

If that's how they are, you probably don't want to work there anyway.
