I applied at About.com to be a guide and well here is the email they sent me:
I guess it wasn't meant to be. I need some Rocky Road ice cream right about now.
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Guide at About.com. We appreciate the hard work and effort put forth in your application. However, we have not accepted your application for entry into prep. Common reasons for not being accepted are:
* We were looking for someone with different qualifications
* The writing sample was not exactly what we were looking for
Again, thank you for taking the time to apply and we wish you luck with any future endeavors.
Thank you,
