Riveting

By jobless - This FML is from back in 2012 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, I fell asleep during a job interview, while it was taking place over the phone. FML

Interviewer: And what would you say are your best qualities? OP: Oh, I'm very attentive and enthusiastic! And I'm also very... Interviewer: Very what? OP: ...very... Interviewer: Hello? OP: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzz *click*

How does one do that. How do you fall asleep during an interview? Are you not interested at all?

I don't blame YOU, OP. If you sue now, you have a strong case! It's THEIR fault you were talking to (pretty much) a wall. It's THEIR fault you're still unemployed. Why didn't they have someone who was more interesting?

Lol, what the ****? OP's sleep is grounds for a lawsuit? No. Just no.

Please be sarcasm, please be sarcasm, PLEASE BE SARCASM!!!!

40 - I read her profile, it said she doesn't use sarcasm. But now that I think about it, that may be sarcasm... Uhh... Sarcasception?

I approve of your conclusion, 43. I was being sarcastic.

Way to go, how are you going to get a job now ?

You're an ass and YDI completely. How do you expect to get a job if interviewing for a job isn't important enough to you to stay awake. Just because it was a phone interview doesn't mean it doesn't deserve your complete attention. You obviously don't want to be employed. There is no reasonable excuse for this kind of behavior.

So... I can not find any explaination to how you do not deserve this.

I hope you were interviewing for the same job as me. I stayed awake for my phone interview on Friday, just gets me one step closer since you failed.

It could be worse, OP could've fallen asleep during a face to face job interview.

I'd say no because of OP's nickname...

Apply for a job as a pillow tester or a sleep number verification consultant.

What time was the interview; midnight? :)
