Work: Donut laugh at me

Donut laugh at me

By sdeeter - 29/04/2013 13:39 - United States

Today, I had a job interview at the local donut shop. It turns out I misunderstood the position, and that the job was actually to wear a donut costume and wave at cars outside the shop. I was told this after I got hired. 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 had an interview for my dream job. I was offered coffee and a donut. It was going well until I took a bite of the donut and started choking on it. I coughed so hard I ended up vomiting into his garbage can. FML

Today, I applied for a job at a local store. As I walked out the door, I heard the manager read it out loud and everybody else laugh. FML

Today, I had a job interview. I didn't have any clothes suitable for the interview, so I went to the store early and bought some there. After the interview, I went to return the clothes, because they were so expensive. The hiring manager saw me. FML

Today, I finally got an interview at a restaurant after looking for a job for three months. I dressed nice, and the interview was going well until this blonde girl in booty shorts and fishnets walked in. The manager hired her on the spot. FML

Today, I had a job interview. I was almost late due to road closure and being blocked in my street by the trash truck. The "interview" turned out to be a hiring fair, with lots of other people. I had to wait outside for 3 hours in the sun with no shade, water or food. I didn't get the job. FML

Today, I got a call about a job interview, saying I was hired. I was ecstatic, until they called me back and said they'd called the wrong applicant. They called again later, saying there'd been a mistake and I really was hired. When I went in to confirm it, they said they'd never heard of me. FML

Today, I got called for a job interview. I didn't catch where it was, and in my excitement I forgot to ask. I now have no idea where I'm being interviewed. FML

Today, I got a phone call for a interview at Target at 4:30 pm. I got super excited, so I got dressed up and headed over there. I told the manager that I was there for my interview. He didn't know what I was talking about. My friends had prank called me. FML

You should always ask and get all the details of the job you're applying for. But it's still a job and after a while maybe they'll promote you to inside work.

Just quit. Simple.

Quitting isn't always the best idea. People who quit without a two weeks notice find it hard to get another job. Stick it out OP and be glad you have job.

#40 - No....people who find it necessary to list a few hours of employment on their next job application find it hard to get another job.

If there was a misunderstanding and you talk with them right away, they are usually ok about letting you quit without warning since they were interviewing people. I had a recruiter place me in a data entry instead of web job once even though I asked about job duties. The recruiter misled me. I dealt with hr at the company they put me with and left the job. They moved onto the next candidate. All was good after I told the recruiter where to go. I imagine the company may have too since they were depending on them to do the employee hunting for them without lying to candidates.

Honestly, I think I'd rather be a dancing donut and spend my time outside instead of inside, glued to the counter. At least now you have a way to work off the donuts you eat-without going to a gym! Own it!
