Job Interview Questions: Is it okay to reapply for a job that you went on an interview for?

I went on a job interview back in October. The interview seemed to go pretty nice. I was told that they would get back to me by the end of 1 week, but I never heard anything and later found out that the position was filled. The same position is open with the same company and I was wondering if I should reapply.

Only if you've accomplished something since then that boosts your resume. Otherwise its pretty embarassing to go back emptyhanded.

A Guide to the Most Evil Job Interview Questions


  • You should reapply if you think you're best for the position, or you think you can be committed. Also you should reinquire about your previous interview/application.

  • Yes. It shows a bit of determination on your part. Someone filled the slot and you tried again. Also, understand that businesses have so much going on that calling back every applicant is almost impossible. Usually, only the one who got the job gets called back. If you don't hear anything after a certain deadline, then shortly there-after call them back and ask if the job is still open. Be persistent enough to get your point across, but not so much as to seem desperate, get on their nerves or other-wise hurt your chances at getting the job.

  • yes you can unless it specified 'previous applicants need not apply'. i also agree with blue eyes.

  • Yes you can apply but before that you need to find out with HR.
    Because most of the companies have 3 months collin period.
    So find out with HR.
