A college student details the aftermath of an internship rejection at the hands of Spin Magazine:

After telling me the delay in correspondence was because they had "fallen a bit behind in the creation of the next issue," I was told that being "snippy" to a prospective employer was "unbelievably off-putting," even if they had already decided not to give me the job.

I went home and cried until I passed out, then woke up and cried some more.

So sad! The kicker comes when the poor girl finally gets an answer from Spin as to why she was rejected: "His reasons were the font I used in my resume and cover letter headings, and that I didn't show a 'passion for SPIN magazine.'"

Had this young scholar used Interpol New Roman for her resume, this story could have had a happy ending.
