Today, I was rejected for a job I really wanted, they said I didn't have enough experience. I designed the systems they are implementing. FML

You built the system, right? So create a virus and crash it, it'll cost them tons!

if you designed their systems... why are you out of a job? Did you point that out to them?

Name and shame, OP! What company turned you down, what system are they implementing, and who are you? If your story is true, you can give the company quite a bit of bad press.

I seriously doubt the OP was the SOLE creator of said system. He was probably on a team that created it, and if it's something that's easy to implement, why would they need him? Also, he knows nothing about the other candidates. Who is to say that someone else wasn't more qualified?

Maybe you're a software genius with no job experience. FYL, either way. Hopefully its not because you forgot to include it in your resume.

OP, You dont mention the role that you applied for. Its possible that they thought that you were overqualfied for the position, seeing as you developed the system that they were implementing and would leave after a short period of time. Also as you developed it, you know things about the system that your would be employer doesn't, meaning that had you got the job and your employment with the company didnt work out for eg you hated your boss you could reconfigure everything, bypass security measures, delete important system files, lock every user out, install hidden viruses and leave them in a royal mess when you left as a way of getting back at them. Not saying that you would of course, just saying that you could. No company likes their employees to have THAT much power.

He COULD do that but id put 100 bucks down that anyone who does that, and the company knows they did it, gets sued at the very least and probably some jail time. Didn't the kid who hacked Google get arrested? same deal more or less

They may have turned you down as a security risk. Knowing too much about the system can make you capable of anything and in the IT world that scares people.

A similar thing happened to my grandmother. She applied for a position and was turned down as over-qualified, but wanted to keep her resume as an example to judge other applicants by.
