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?

You know to use two accents aigu to spell résumé. You are too uppity to work at Dairy Queen. Try to become a barista at Barnes & Noble, brainiac!

You did take identity protection steps before you posted this, right? Ask if you friend to get your application out of the trash, so you can shred it yourself. Keep the photo your friend sent for a police investigation, in case your identity is stolen. At least you won't be working for a place that's has no respect for confidential information.

DQ sucks man. You should be thankful you didn't get the job.

#82, DQ is awesome, man. Nevertheless, I agree that you should be thankful you didn't get the job! You would have gotten fat on all the discount (or free) Blizzards.

Resume to DQ? You're obviously over-qualified.

Dairy Queen has great banana splits, mourn over one of those.
