Job was Re-posted
« on: Apr 03, 2015, 03:50 pm »
I applied for a gig at least a month ago, if not longer, and noticed today that the job listing had been re-posted. Is it safe to think that the company did not feel they had enough qualified applicants or that they are possibly still in the process of scheduling interviews? Is it worth it to revamp my cover letter and submit my information again?

Thanks for your feedback!

If you already applied . . . and they re-post, I can imagine the following possibilities . . .

1) The posted was already paid for, and automatically reposted.
2) They could not find anyone qualified in the first posting.
3) The found someone qualified, made an offer, and then that person passed on the job - or accepted and then back out.
4) The qualifications they posted for changed.

I don't think it can hurt to re-apply, unless you are pretty much "under-qualified" . . .
