Today, I drove two and a half hours to a job interview. The interviewer never showed up or called. I sat in the hotel lobby waiting for an hour and a half. Even the hotel staff said they felt sorry for me. FML

Today, I woke up early for a job interview. I got lost and arrived an hour late, only to find out it was the wrong day. FML

Today, I had a job interview. I got there as quick as I could, having to travel two hours into a city I'd never been to. When I arrived, they told me I was turned down for being too late. They'd rescheduled the interview an hour earlier and I wasn't notified of the change. FML

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, after months of searching I finally got a job interview. Too bad I didn't have enough money to buy a bus ticket to get there. FML

Today, I got a call from a job I had applied for. Everything went great until I realized I had applied to the wrong location, across town. I'm so broke, I went to the interview anyway. It will cost me more to pay for the gas to drive there to work, than what I will actually make. FML

Sorry sweaty

Today, I was late for a job interview so I got a taxi to get there. Then the driver got lost and ended up taking me to the wrong address. By the time I got to the right location, I was 20 minutes late and had sweat stains on my shirt. To make matters worse, the interviewer was my ex who I had a messy breakup with. FML

Today, I had my very first interview and pretty much got hired right away. Then I found out I have to drive 2 hours away for training. I don't have a car, license, or money. FML

Today, I had an interview for my dream job. I spent all of last night preparing, researching the company, and making sure everything was perfect. My interview was for 8am. I woke up at 10:30 to an alarm that had not gone off. 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

You're stupid for being willing to miss your best friend's wedding for an interview and for not confirming the dates. Also, even if they happened to be on the same day, you should have tried to reschedule the interview for such an important event.

if she/he was really ur bestfriend then you wouldn't have missed the wedding for anything

OP said he/she drove 6 hours for the interview, so I'm guessing that it was a pretty important interview - perhaps for a career-altering job? - Or perhaps for any job after being unemployed for a while? If you had to choose between earning money, paying rent, etc, and your best friend's wedding, what would you choose?

See, there's the kicker: If the interview was that important, why couldn't they have at least gotten the date right?

I said YDI. Perhaps there's a reason OP is currently unemployed - he/she cannot be relied upon to be where they are supposed to be on the expected date.

So, you'd rather miss your best friends wedding, than rather explain to the person interviewing you that you need to reschedule it? I'm sure he/she would've understood considering that's your so called "best friend". You must not be such good friends since you'd rather miss the wedding. -___-YDDI (you definitely deserve it).
