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 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

Wait here

Today, I showed up on time for a job interview. After waiting for about three hours, I was informed that the manager had "better things to do" than interview me. FML

Today, I had an interview scheduled for 10:05. When I got there, someone was talking to them, so I sat down to wait. Little did I know this wait would be 45 minutes. I got told to go home and that I'd be rescheduled. 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

Waste my time

Today, I had a job interview. I was almost late due to road closure and being blocked in my street by the trash truck. The "interview" turned out to be a hiring fair, with lots of other people. I had to wait outside for 3 hours in the sun with no shade, water or food. I didn't get the job. 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

Hello?

Today, I was at a job interview. The interviewer spoke to me for a few minutes, then said she would be right back, and left. I was left alone in a room for an hour and a half believing that it was a patience test. They closed the store for the day, leaving me in the interview room. FML

Today, I had a job interview at a Holiday Inn. I got there ten minutes early and sat until 1:00 p.m., then told the person at the front desk I was there for my interview. She called the manager, who said that no interviews were scheduled today. I'd gone to the wrong Holiday Inn. FML

Today, I had a job interview today after being unemployed for months. I left early but a stranger's giant SUV had me blocked in for over 2 hours. I called to explain the situation in the hope that I would be given another interview slot later in the week. I was told I clearly didn’t want the job. FML

Reminds me of what happened a few months ago. I got called down to my 1st job interview, and was exited about getting my 1st job. Whene I got to the fruit market, my employer wasnt there. Turns out she was at home and forgot about the interview and she rescheduled it for a week later and she said she'd call when she wanted me to come in for the interview. a week and a half passes and no call. I call in. She hired someone else and forgot about the 2nd interview....again.

#20: Jobs aren't easy to come by these days. Good for them that they're willing to commute 5 hours (or relocate if they got the job) instead of freeloading.

There are many fake job offers out there for "marketing firms" etc. This kid possibly was one of the many too stupid to realize.

yeah in this market, if you get an interview its a good thing, relocating might be required, but it will keep a roof over your head.

OP and #12 aww that sucks. But then again you probably wouldn't want to work under someone who forget's important things like that so easily or just doesn't care. @ #8; I've been in a job interview at a restaurant which wasn't connected the job, but even then the interviewer's had told the bartender what they were doing, so he guided all the lost sheep to the right table (including me lol). The job was for a snack stand at different music festival through out the summer, including the biggest ones. I didn't get the job, but I told about it to my cousin too and she didn't even show up to the interview. Guess which one got the job? FML too.

#20 perhaps thats just the interview location - lots of highend job interviews can take place at neutral locations. If it was the actual office OP could just walk in and talk to someone. OP should have called though. That was kinda stupid of you.
