Today, I was rejected by a company I applied to. When I was writing my application, I spent so much time on their website researching that the ads on my browser are almost all for their products. It's like getting rejected again with every click. 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, at the one job interview I got after months of applying, I was rejected for what turned out to be a phone customer service role, because I "wasn't technical enough." Previously I worked as a website developer and I have a computer science degree. FML

What's not to get? Your ads are generally a reflection of products you've recently searched for, or something comparable. So if he was researching, let's say, gnc for a job, just as an example, all of his ads would reflect products gnc sells, which is a reminder of the job he didn't get. Better?
