Today, I was passed over for the job of my dreams. I now have to watch as a girl I have on Facebook - a total moron - boasts daily about scoring the position instead. Turns out the interviewer was her uncle. FML

Remove her from your FB. Why do you have a total moron on your FB anyway?

then don't feel bad.. you had no chance going in.. it wasn't you.. they just wanted it to look more formal so that they didn't seem like they were favoring her (but we know They were)

thats bullshit. report the company for none equal oppertunities and explain the situation

Man, I feel for you. The old "it's not what you know, it's who you know" is complete BS and unbelievably unfair, but unfortunately it's a reality that I doubt is going to go away anytime soon. Best of luck in finding other opportunities!

If she is just "some girl" you know of Facebook... do you know her in real life? Have you seen her resume? While she might come across as an atrocious idiot on Facebook it does not mean she isn't smart. She might have been qualified for the job. You sound bitter. You might not have gotten the job even if the girl hadn't applied. Maybe he wouldn't have liked your attitude and your inability to handle disappointment. The great thing about dream jobs is that thy don't always apply in the real world. Just because you wanted the job does not mean you are entitled to it. There are countless stories of people more qualified than you, Op, losing their dream jobs, losing their jobs and becoming homeless or getting divorced or dying of cancer. You have access to the internet so I won't assume you are worse for the wear. There are other things wrong with the world and some girl getting a job because of her uncle is the least of the worries. It isn't your company, you don't get to decide who they hire. If it happens that the girl is an idiot and gets fired, reapply, but don't hang your hat on the idea that you are the smartest person in the world and everyone else is an idiot and out to get you. Grow up.

Or it could be the uncle was playing favorites. Ever thought about idiot?

I have "thought about idiot." I have thought that some people should write their sentences in their complete form or else they end up looking like the idiot.

We all make typos dude. Also have you ever thought that the uncle was playing nepotism card?

Here's an idea Delete her as a friend!!!

Not sure about the laws there, but if you can prove that she is nowhere near as qualified for the job as you, you could sue. You can already show that she was hired not on her qualifications, you just need to show your qualifications are far better.

then delete her. i hate to say it but, duhh.
