Dumb it down

By alejandro38 - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I had an interview. I didn't get the job because apparently customers might not understand me, since I "talk too good." I just graduated with an English degree. FML

Maybe you offended the interviewer with your fancy jargon and flashy degree. Reach for new goals! Although, with an English degree, there isn't much hope.

Actually, an English degree is very versatile. It can be used in almost all lines of work. It basically teaches you how to think well. You learn critical thinking skills, analytical skills, communication skills, and the ability to read and write well. All of the above are an important foundation for any career. The rest is just training, which most jobs do anyways.

Now if you would have spoken in a mumble, and in a low voice, and sounded like you where from india, and did the repeat a few times on words. You could have any job that you wanted doing telemarketing or customer service calls.

"talk too good" sounds more like OP lives in Hicktown, Nebraska.

I think they should have said 'well' instead of 'good'.

Not so much a FML for you...more like a FML for everyone else, since he assumes everyone is too dumb for you. :P

kinda reminds me of the movie idiocracy. **** your life for being better than other people but not being rewarded for it.
