Nice try

Today, after two months of unemployment, I got a call from a marketing firm offering me an interview for an entry-level position. While Googling the company, I discovered it's a scam. I graduated college in 3 years with a 3.5 GPA, and the only interview I can get is at a fake company. FML

good catch, at least. imagine if you went and were scammed. THAT would have been a real FML. This is an FML with a bright side

I completely agree with 13... You totally deserve this one for thinking 3.5 is good.

economy is bad now. hard for anyone to find a job. best way is to have hook ups. there was a kohl opening in my town and there are some people that making 80k a year applying for cashier b/c they got laid off. i was at an interview a couple of months ago and a guy was applying for the same entry level job as me. he was a project manager at a big firm. he was getting paid 100k a year. now he's applying for a 40k job.

I'm about to graduate with a 3.9 in engineering. For the last three years, everybody I know has gotten jobs before the end of their first semester of senior year. My turn, the economy crashes, and nobody is hiring.

Another FML comment about the consequences of the crappy economy. This is sad. I graduate in two years and I wonder how that's going to be. I think I might just stay in school until the economy gets slightly better. There's nothing to do outside of school, might as well keep busy.

#12, I don't understand why you don't like the internet; it is good in this case since it stopped the OP from getting scam.

I just graduated college, I deserve a good job wa wa wa wa. Stupid whiners STFU already.

I wonder what schools determine what GPA is good or not. In my school, a 4.0 are all A's. A 3.5 is a combination of A's and B's. But if you think of it, you mostly imagine B's. So I don't know where all these A-'s are coming from.

JUST TO CLEAR THIS UP: 4.0-A 3.7-A- 3.3-B+ 3.0-B 2.7-B- 2.3-C+ 2.0-C 1.7-C- 1.3-D+ 1.0-D .7-D- 0.0-F Seriously, a lot of you guys have no idea and #28, you're an idiot a 3.5 is NOT an A! It's halfway between a B+ and an A-, which is okay I guess... A 3.5 is good for a lot of people! Not me, I have a 4.2 from taking Honors and AP classes that get .5 added on to the GPAs... Jobs are hard for ANYONE to get, okay? The economyy sucks. Get used to it seeing as it's not supposed to be fully stable again for approximately another year.

everyone who says a 3.5 isn't good clearly is not in college. its a 4.0 scale, so its between a B+ and an A- which is not easy to attain. the real clincher here, is what your degree is in. if its in some obscure bullshit with no real job market, then of course finding work will be hard. my cousin got a degree in african american studies and psychology, and in the 4 years she's been out of college she has worked as a waitress, in a flag factory, and teaching for one year. im glad that im a college freshmen right now so that there is another 3 years for the economy to start rebounding before i get in the job market, it ain't easy to get a job anymore.

I just came in to say what #32 said, at least it was a job, and you weren't gonna be the one getting scammed....
