    so is the person in question going to get in touch with you then or have you made such a nuisance of yourself they will avoid you like the plague ?

    you were advised (by me ) not to set your heart on getting the job but again you took no notice and now look where you are...

    As long as you have an attitude problem (and before you say it, yes you do have an attitude problem) you haven't a chance of getting any job. As far as the job in question is concerned, with all the drama you have caused already with this company - you have blown it, and you have only yourself to blame I'm afraid. You say that they know you now - I am sure they do and the nuisance you have made of yourself with this company already I am sure they will not consider you, they will see you as a troublemaker.

    My attitude is I am crying out for somewhere to employ my passion and my engery. I get upset because I have so much to give and so much desire but no one ever sees that and I never get a chance to use all my desire and abilities.

    The head of HR is meant to contact me on Monday with a date I can go for a talk about this job and to see if it is suitable.

    I know people say don't set your heart on things but I find it hard as I have so much to give and no where to give it to and so I do fall slightly into setting my heart on things to give my life purpose.

    All I want is a flipping job and not to be insulted and called a Spammer. All I want is to meet the Manager before I have an interview to talk about the job and see if I can do it and show them all the good points I have. These are not big things but it always ends up that I feel upset for some reason.

    And you meeting the manager is fair to any other candidates, is it?

    If I were the HR manager and you had done what you say you have, I'd be very wary of you. What you are doing could lose you any chance of getting this job.

    However, if you keep your mouth shut, follow their process and get the job, well maybe you would be in a position to share ideas.

    Lecturing them before even being called for interview is shooting yourself in the foot.

    Maybe i have distoried myself but I am crying out for a job and so I find it hard to sit back especially when my truth and desire for this job was questioned by being called a possible Spammer.

    If this was the case why oh why did you start emailing them or contacting them at all and make a nuisance of yourself, why not wait until the head of HR contacted you on Monday???:confused::confused:

    You keep saying that you have your heart set on this job, that all you want is a job etc. People here have given you advice on this and you have ignored them all! A word of advice (which I know you won't take) never ever set your heart on any job because you are setting yourself up for a fall.

    You don't always get what you want and you need to learn that life has its ups and downs and we all take the rough with the smooth.

    I never thought of that that it could be unfair on others but I just want to know if I could do this job as so not to wait their time and mine.

    I think if I am chilled from now on and talk nicely to people and I am more cool then I will still stand a good chance at the job.

    We are back to this AGAIN - you were not called a spammer it was not personal!! They weren't wrong in questioning your email and you did not go about it the right way! Stop making out that you are a victim!
