Today, I was desperately handing out resumes. I came to my local grocery store and asked for a job application, the customer service rep told me all she needed was my resume. I smiled and gave it to her only to see her read it, laugh and put it straight in the garbage as I walked out. FML

Today, I applied for a job at a local store. As I walked out the door, I heard the manager read it out loud and everybody else laugh. FML

Today, I filled out an application for a job at Dairy Queen. I handed my application to the manager along with my résumé, and he said he'd be in contact with me. Not even five minutes after I left, a friend who works there sent me a picture of my crumpled-up application in the trash. 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 applied for my first job. I didn't know how to write a resume, so I copied and pasted one from someone else and reworked it. I got on the bus, handed it in, and left. Then I remembered I forgot to change the contact info and date. 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

Today, I had my first job interview in years. While I was waiting for the manager to come out I realized I had forgotten the resume that I had printed out the night before, since he specifically asked me to bring one. FML

Today, I put in an application to my local market for a job that I desperately needed. I was talking to the manager, he seemed pleased with my application and said he'll call me. As he walks into his private office, I hear the sound of a paper shredder. FML

Today, I handed my resume in to a cafe that was hiring. I returned home and noticed a voicemail, it was one from the boss for a trial. I eagerly returned the call, showing my enthusiasm. Without thinking, I ended with "ok love you. *GASP* ah, BYE" and quickly hung up. FML

No coffee for you

Today, I walked into Starbucks for a job application. I asked the manager if they were hiring, as I really need a job. He looked me up and down and replied, "NO!" There was a 'Now hiring' sign in the window. FML

Today, I spent two hours filling out an online application and questionnaire for a potential employer. The application stated that there were no right or wrong answers and to answer truthfully. I was automatically rejected. FML

Life's a bitch... you shouldn't worry, besides you don't wanna work in a place with workers like that. =/

You may want to revamp that resume of yours. There are government programs that can help you with that, youth centers, job connect, etc. Or google resume layouts and sell yourself (I know your mom told you not to, but as long as it's on paper and not the corner, you should be good)

And I thought I had trouble with my job search! No one will hire me because I've got no job experience. How can I get job experience if no one will hire me? But for your resume to be thrown out in your view, that's just ****** up!

Well, look on the bright side. You definitely don't want her as a boss. Also, I'd like to see this resume. You should show it to us (censoring any private info or whatever).

well maybe the resume sucked. you should look into that. but she could at least recycle it instead of throwing it out, pftt.

err.... i hope you did something about that. that is illegal. they have to hold it for a minimum amount of time. i think it is 3 months but i am not positive.

#12 i agree. as far as i believe, a college degree isnt exactly required to work at a grocery store ;) the lady might have instantly thought that OP was lying if he did actually have an impressive resume and was applying to work a lowlife job at a grocery store (no offense to all the supermarket cashiers out there with PhDs getting paid seven dollars an hour)

Seriously? Were you asking to apply to a bagger job or a manager position? People are so rude it's ridiculous sometimes.
