If you plan on writing to an employer (or frankly pretty much anyone outside of this or the PUA community), please don't talk about becoming an 'alpha male' - just comes off as weird and even dangerous.
Don't mention a deep rooted anxiety or any other fundamental flaw - no employer will believe you will go away and fix fundamental personality issues in months. They will rather assume that you might just shoot up the place if crap goes wrong.
Saying you will go away and come back with a new personality better suited to the job almost comes off schizophrenic. Employers want 'normal' people, not people who need lots of personality work or people who can totally change their personality [I know, in our context, it is for the better, but just comes off as strange to anyone outside the community]
I think if you actually wanted a job with them and were curious about the reason why the did not hire you, you could have cut out all the alpha and new personality stuff (I am pretty sure they will now never hire you because of it) and asked about why they did not hire you directly or what ways you could improve your resume or work experience in order to become a Psych Tech in the future.
Thanks for your input sir.
Beta guys always have a weird way of expressing themselves, I being one of them -- pre AM 6, most of us have been or are in those shoes as of right now. I already set the disclaimer that it may sound immature, unprofessional etc. I also felt that it was unnecessary ranting especially to a stranger let alone HR rep.
If I do go about applying back in 6 months down the road (after running AM 6)......they will forget who I am; the emails that are sent to them usually end up getting deleted anyways. It's not like I plastered a picture of my face with the email lol.
I am sure that you already know that even going about asking them politely and professionally doesn't guarantee a 100% response that they will tell you what really made you not qualified.....
I wasnt trying to be fresh with the response either; yeah maybe an ego boost just becuz of the overwhelming joy of whats to come with AM 6. But realistically I didnt care for the job either with past experiences; my social anxiety is real so I really wouldnt have survived (yeah its THAT bad) true story that I was an intern at a psych hospital and I never went back in cuz of my uncomfort level with my peers and subordinates......to put it in a quote "I ran like hell" when there was no real threat at all; so my social anxiety and irrational fears blended together doesnt really motivate me to work at these places anyways....and then along with the fact that I keep messing up at any job I get becuz I "cant get the hang of it" according to higher management or supervisors (SMH)....all these 3 factors doesnt really make me care whether I would get the job or not, it would just make me relieved....even though I need some kinda work to make a living..
in reality if you were to be an alpha and met this guy that in particular sent you the above email, he would totaly 'respect' you even though he didnt know you.....I would believe it to be true
But dont worry I already agree with you that it was unnecessary and unprofessional but I just did it as a way of saying "you dont know what I am about to become and better me coming soon....".....Cheers
