Today, I can't attend an interview for a great job because I have an exam. An exam I need to pass in order to have a great job like the one I'm missing the interview for. FML

Today, I forgot about the second half of a really important job interview. Guess I'll just drop out because now I can't afford college. FML

Today, I had a job interview for an amazing opportunity. Too bad my nerves made me forget what the role was and where it was, mid-interview. FML

Today, I had my last assessment for my university degree in the form of an interview at 11am. Without doing this interview, I can't graduate. The interviewer was a no show. FML

Today, I went to a very important job interview. I was so nervous that I passed out right in front of the interviewer's desk. FML

Today, after constantly checking my email for a week, I finally got a letter saying that I was accepted to take a test for a job position. The only problem is I was scheduled to test today, eight hours ago. FML

Today, I was supposed to having the interview for which I'd been preparing for the past week. I join and 5 minutes later, some guy joins, just to tell me that there's been some technical issue and the interview will be rescheduled. FML

Today, after passing various interviews and tests, I was given a great job pending a pre-employment medical test. Now I'm jobless and colorblind. FML

Today, I had a job interview that I had spent hours preparing for it. When I arrived, the interviewer told me the position had been filled already and they forgot to notify me. I wasted a whole fucking day for nothing. FML

Today, while waiting for an interview at the career that I've been spending months tailoring my résumé for, I was thrown up on by my only competitor. Guess who got the job. FML

Don't apply for jobs you're not yet qualified for. Problem solved.

it's called "re-scheduling". People with jobs understand this concept.

take the exam. why? because that exam will help you in the future to get 10x more interviews for your dream job than just one interview at the moment. In my opinion, it's better to have a good education. hypothetically speaking, if you didn't get the job then you just risked possibly the most important exam in your life! I hope you picked the latter.

Most employers are fine with rescheduling when it comes to important things like exams. Call or email them and ask! Either way you should take the exam, otherwise you won't be getting the career you want at all.
