Is it possible she just doesn’t want you to be a janitor

Having your significant toher as your boss can cause problems. Most companies will allow employees to date provided the work in seperate departments. Also, it is possible your gf doesn't think you'd be a good fit based on work ethic/skills. It could also jeopardize her position if she gave your application the ok. I would hope your thinkinng she should put her job in danger for you.

Maybe she knows how you work.

Have you spoken to her before submitting your application? I guess not, or this FML would not have been written. She may be in a conflict of interest situation and jeopardize her own job, if she hired you and they found out you’re a couple. Or she simply doesn’t want to work at the same place of employment with you. If she is the only HR person, the place may be small enough where you would bump into each other constantly.

Every time I get a stack of applications I'm throwing away about half of them. I don't want unlucky people working for my company.

She really cannot show favoritism at work since you two are in relationship. This could be part of her company no dating co-workers policy.

honestly, when my ex and I were together, she was a safety training manager. I turned the position down, because I didn't want to work in the same place. Guess what??? Some people need their work life and personal life separate OP and, maybe.....if y'all living together or around each other all the time, she'd like a little space. work was my excuse for having alone time. it's not a bad thing.

So what? If you're not qualified, your girlfriend did the right thing. You shouldn't expect special treatment because your girlfriend is the head of HR.

And you're supposed to be hired because she's your girlfriend? I don't think so. ydi

So she's supposed to hire you because you're her boyfriend? Did you discuss it before you applied? I feel we're missing some info here.
