I just received the following in my private messages:

Hi bbb,

how r u ??I m going throught the match process could you please let me know the hospital where u r working as a program coordinator and please help me get an interview call after reviewing my application.

waiting for your reply


Please, please, please - do not ask me questions such as this. I will not answer them. I am able to help you on board here, but will not continue if I receive more messages such as this.

I'm asking, pleading, begging - perhaps demanding - that you don't send me personal messages like this. Ask me about Molly, about my bamboo plants, about the weather, but not if I can get you an interview.

Apologies again and thanks for bringing it to the notice of all .

BTW whats up with Molly.How tall is the Bamboo plant ? I wont ask about the weather .

I am sorry to read that somebody asked you this "kind" of request.disapproval
My apologies in name of everyone who have or will try to take advantage of your light through such an opportunistic way.


  #16

Just the other day I was wondering, "how many messages does that poor guy get asking for interviews." Before we hang the poor soul who wrote the message, I would give the person benefit of the doubt and contribute it to a moment of insanity. So, now he/she knows better.

I too appreciate your input BBB and it has been helpful to hear how it works on the other side. I thank you for taking the time during busy schedule in order to provide us your insights. Reading your responses to others has put my mind at ease.

Thank you,

Tim

First of all I want you to know how much we appreciate what you are doing to help. and I'm just beig curious how often you get such a request?

thanks a lot for eveything.




  #18

very sorry too. agree with everyone here. ngt.

  #19

Perhaps that is why the request hit me so wrong......I have never been asked (in complete seriousness) to do this.

It's not making me go away.
