Rejection Burns deep


I didn't get the internship. Motherfucker, I don't know what i am doing wrong. Here's to another rejection letter added to the increasing pile:


Dec, 1st 2008:


Hi Beckett ,

Thank you very much for your interest in our internship. I’m afraid that we have gone another direction, but I wish you the very best in your pursuit of a career in publishing, and appreciate your time in talking with me.

Best regards,
Jaimee, the Literary Group

Thank you to all who applied at Show Business Weekly. I just wanted to let you know that the internships have been filled. Good luck

I was going to list the rest of them, but i must have deleted the rejection letters from that weird social networking site (which was literally the weirdest rejection letter ever. Something about New Years Eve and bad timing) and Scholastic Books. I can't remember if there are anymore than four. Some rejections are solely based on me being a college graduate which makes no sense. There was this cool internship with Sprig.com, based on eco-friendly content (news, fashion, writing). Unfortunately they were looking for interns who are in college instead of those who have already graduated from it.


It's complete hogwash and bullshit.

Rejection letters suck. Hard. When I first applied for a legal internship I sent out 150 resumes and got 150 rejection letters! That was 4 years ago. I'm still bitter.
