Today, after handing out several résumés for several jobs, I realized that I forgot to add my phone number to them. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized after sending out countless copies of my resume to companies, I failed to add my phone number on it. 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, 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 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 realized I sent over 2 dozen job applications with my dating profile word doc instead of my resume. FML
Today, I accidentally left my cell phone at the restaurant. When I realized my mistake, I went back to see if anyone had found it. They said no, so I gave them my number to call if it turned up. I realized later that I'd given them my cell phone number. FML
Today, my parents switched phone companies, which changed the phone number. Two days ago, I dropped off over 15 job applications with my 'old' number on all of them. There is a waiting period before I can reapply anywhere. FML
Today, I realized I had misspelled "Education" on all the resumes I've been submitting. FML
Today, I noticed that all 200 remaining business cards out of the 500 that I had made have the wrong phone number on them. FML
Today, after applying at over 30 businesses over the past 6 months, I have had not one single call. I later find out that I was using my old phone number on the applications, and my secondary phone was my mom's. She thought they were telemarketers. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Next time try thinking before you do something as important as applying for jobs.

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
Why would you be posting on here when you should be trying to fix this? idiot. YDI

That is why you should always have someone else look at the resume when you have it completed for a second look.

Pretty sure DrMime ain't the OP, you guys. Unless he goes by "Tammy Lauraine" on the streets. Get your own comment, yeah?

Well look at the bright side! They probably wouldn't have considered you in the first place seeing how you forgot to include a basic contact information....

7- Did you take 15 hours to make your post? I doubt it, so perhaps you should reconsider how much time op actually spent on the fml. A little bit of thinking goes a long way.

Hopefully you wrote your email down so there's another form of contact? But how could you forget to put your phone number? It's one of the most important parts.
