Today, I interviewed for a job at a pharmaceutical lab. During the interview, I said something about a past work experience that made the interviewers think that I would enjoy doing something similar to that... so they gave me a warehouse job instead. I have a degree in chemistry and biology. FML

Today, I was interviewed by a WalMart employee for a position in their pharmacy. I didn't get the job. I was more qualified than the woman who gave me the interview. FML

Today, I had my first job interview in months. The guy chuckled mockingly at my master's degree in philosophy and wound up admitting that he had no idea why I'd even been selected to be interviewed. FML

Today, I had a job interview with a world-renowned forensic psychologist, and it fits my degree perfectly. He didn't want to hire me, but he'd like me to return as a patient. FML

Today, I was told I've secured the job I applied for at my local hospital. Being just 19, this is a great opportunity, and I told my parents. They angrily asked if I'd applied just to get access to drugs, then demanded to know how I'd managed to pass the drug test. Thanks for the confidence. FML

Today, I went on an interview for a job that I had been wanting for months. I thought everything was going great. On my way out, my interviewer asked me to recycle something for him. I agreed. It was my resume. FML

Today, I left my old job and started my new one, which came with a hefty pay raise and better benefits. Previously, I was a lab analyst performing research, which required a college degree and several years of work experience. Now, I'm a gas station manager. FML

Today, I was at a job interview for a position I really needed. Somehow, the interviewer and I started talking about fishing. I joked, "I'm a master baiter." Needless to say, I didn't get the job. FML

Today, I had my first job interview since graduating from university. The person who interviewed me informed me that not using my degree after two years practically makes it null and void. I guess instead of being a financial advisor at the company, I could always be a janitor there. FML

Waste of time

Today, I went to a job interview. I never applied for the job, they'd sought me out, had a phone interview, and sent samples, all before the face-to-face interview. Turns out none of the people I met with had even read my resume or writing samples. I was told I might not be a good fit. FML

The sad thing is, you sound like you really believe what you just wrote.

Apparently you all think a double major in biology and chemistry, both bachelors of science (as opposed to bachelor of arts), is easy. This guy deserves better. But what can you expect from a pharmaceutical company? Anyways, go to medical, pharmacy, dental, or PA school. It's really hard to get into research and make a living unless you're brilliant or already rich. If you could do the double major in those two difficult subjects, you're probably already professional school material. Don't let the taco bell workers of the world get you down.

Because "Jose" is taking the jobs of university educated Americans that double majored in Bio and Chem. I'm sure that educated America is really competing with illegal immigrants for jobs, I sure as hell want to bust my ass working construction or on some farm.

They hired you for a job you didn't apply for, and you just accepted it without comment? WTF?

If you have a bad experience to talk about you turn it around to be a good one... "Why do you think you'd make a good paramedic?" "Well at my job as a lawn care specialist, I accidentally cut someone's hand off with pruning shears. I acted coolly and calmly. I put his hand on ice, dialed 911 and put my belt around his arm to slow the blood flow!"
