Work: Today, the company offering the job position that I've been applying...

By Mr IT - 24/11/2009 01:47 - Sweden

Today, the company offering the job position that I've been applying for called me up. I wasn't there to answer so they got redirected to my voice mail in which I'm acting like a drunk David Hasselhoff chewing on a cheeseburger. They called me 5 times. FML

Today, I missed multiple calls from the company I applied to. That was the supervisor calling, wanting to hire me. I then remembered my idiotic voicemail I made months ago where I pretended to answer and say stupid stuff for 5 minutes. I don't think I'm going to get the job. FML

Canceled

Today, I got a call from the only company that asked me to come in for an interview of the many applications I submitted. I answered it even though I was at my current job. My boss heard and chewed me out. The call was to cancel the interview since the position was filled. FML

Today, I got through to the phone interview stage for a great job. When the phone rang, I answered and suddenly, spontaneously, burped really loudly. The interviewer hung up. FML

Coming or going

Today, I got a call about a job interview, saying I was hired. I was ecstatic, until they called me back and said they'd called the wrong applicant. They called again later, saying there'd been a mistake and I really was hired. When I went in to confirm it, they said they'd never heard of me. FML

Today, after being unemployed for over four months, I got a call from a company I've wanted to work for for over 2 years. After they were about to set up an interview, they called me by a different name. After correcting them, they hung up on me. Turns out they had the wrong number. FML

Today, the company I applied for called up congratulating me in getting the job. I was ecstatic. Quickly enough I texted a few mates that I'd got the job. Twenty minutes later they called again, saying the trainee had accidentally called the wrong applicant. FML

Today, while checking my voicemail, I noticed I had received one from a job that I've been trying to get in for months. Too bad they called two weeks ago. FML

Today, I got a phone call from a number I didn't recognize. It was a man with a speech impediment, and I began imitating him. He was the manager of a store I applied at. He wanted to arrange an interview. FML

Drunken antics

By Stilljobless - 19/01/2010 11:51 - United Kingdom

Today, I got a missed call from a job that I really really want. I completely forgot that my answer machine message was a ridiculous and rude poem that I recorded previously when I was drunk. Somehow I don't think I'll be getting a call back. FML

Today, I got a call and was offered a position with a company that I really wanted to work for. I just had to wait a week to confirm that everything was good to go. Ten seconds after ending the call, they called back and said that they'd called the wrong person. The offer was for someone else. FML

YDI for thinking drunk David Hasselhoff eating a cheeseburger is going to be the answer to why someone was calling you.

Well, they weren't off-put enough by it that they scratched your name off of their list of potentials.

...They called 12 times? They must really want to speak with you. Perhaps a drunk Hasselhoff is exactly what they want in a potential employee, score one for you.

Maybe they only called to hear the voicemail. What did the messages say?

Yeah, I was being sarcastic. When I read it, I kind of assumed that whoever called the first time just wanted his/her coworkers to hear the message and kept calling back to get it to play again.

(Don’t worry I got it) But then again, who wouldn’t want to hire a guy who can do drunk Hasselhoff impression? Write it in your CV next time under ‘additional skills’!

Yea, they probably put it on speakerphone so everyone could hear, and then everytime someone in the office doesn't know why everyone's laughing, they're all, "DUDE!!! Call Drunken Hasselhoff again!! Lydia from accounting hasn't heard it yet!" "Holy hell!! Lydia, c'mere!! This guy didn't change his voicemail after sending out resumes. What a tard!!"

I would ring them up, and if they ask who it is, describe the voice mail... they might be all like YOU SIR ARE HIRED!...just a thought... then it would not be a fml

Yeah not an FML. They wouldn't have called 12X if the voicemail was a problem.

this. everyone knows that when applying for a job, you make sure to delete all embarassing facebook/myspace pictures and change your voicemail to something normal.
