I saw a good job description that is a good job not extremely far away...

Problem, this place rejected me once because I did not use "mannors" in correspondence with them.... I wrote a nice email to them saying I'm correcting this problem, would the business give me a second chance.... but I don't know if they will :(

It can't hurt to try. Did the tell you that was why they rejected you and what exactly did you do? The worst they can do is say no, and who knows, you might get it if you are honest with them, apologize, and tell then you have corrected the problem they had with you (assuming you have, and considering that they just didnt like your manners and that's very easy to fix - just be polite).

If your qualifications are p good, they may give you a chance. But the problem is the possibility of being lots of good applicants and they may just disregard you. Still, no worries. Let's wait and see. Probably they'll want to hire a person who admits they mad a mistake and is working on correcting it.

There are a few things to consider

1. I would get together samples of all your projects and e-mail this in to someone else who holds a similar position and think about talking with them about the job. That way you can get in the back door.

2. There maybe some new people there that don't know of your situation

3. Show off your professional skills by practicing and dressing appropriately.

Unless it was very recent, I would be inclined to not even bring it up.
They may not even remember you or your manners, so don't remind them.
If they bring it up then apologize and tell them you corrected the issue.

The rejection happened in April. This is an almost identical job.

I'm waiting for another job to contact me... but they said Monday or Tuesday and now it's Friday... I emailed and called with no answer :(
