Opinions ?

You're not hearing from them again.

Make sure the actual hiring team lead knows about this.
HR can ignore you based on this

Thats one way to not get a job I guess.

@taho101 only time I see asking for travel expenses is going to go well is for airfares if it's long distance F2F and the company already short listed you.

Outside of that, you typically find your own way.

I really liked the fact that you wrote: “P.S. Please don’t think I have gone mad”
Well atleast you are self-aware at this point.

Imagine someone like this being an actual employee. However, the spaced triple exclamation mark at the end changed him in my mind from a pushy candidate to a child.

"I need a job" vs. "I put a lot of conditions" doesn't compute. Either you are in demand, or you are not.

Since you have been rejected many times, which is the source of your frustration, you are not in demand, and a letter like this will only change your status from "not in demand" to "avoid like the plague".

Is this the guy that also writes the notices for the various ransomwares?

IMHO asking for reimbursement for travel expenses isn't generally a bad idea. However:

"I need the job" translates to "don't want it, I'm just forced to apply". Which 1) is unsympathetic and 2) reduces your bargaining power to about zero. A company is looking for people who *want* to work there, not those who might quit for greener pastures soon.

"terms and conditions": This email should be a humble request. It actually reads like a legal contract. Very off-putting. Also, why should they pay for your time, but you not for theirs?

"don't think I have gone mad": Write your email so it speaks for itself (you not having gone mad). You've put the idea into the reader's mind - the opposite of what you want.

"My money, hopes, ... are not free": Goes without saying. However you seem to forget THEIR time and efforts are not free either. Makes you look like a bad candidate with ego problems.

These points and the general tone sound very disrespectful.

I hope this helps, you can do better!

@Plasticnova may be or someone like him :P

IMHO I would never hire a guy like this. If he is demanding like this at that stage, it will not become better in the future. His demands are somehow understandable, but not the general tone of that letter!

Pretty sure this is satirical, but at the same time it’s so exhausting seeing these kinds of posts on LinkedIn that is meant to the professional. It’s so inappropriate. Keep that on Facebook or something.
