So since I graduated I have been unemployed and looking for work. My main problem is that I live in a pretty small county and work is scarce. A month ago a great opportunity headed my way, I interviewed, thought I did well, but I guess someone did better. A couple days ago I noticed the job position had been reposted so I guess someone didn't do so hot or they are expanding the position. So i re applied.
Is it foolish, a waste of time, to re apply to a job you were already turned down for? It isnt like I have a lot of options so I went for it anyways, but REALISTICALLY, did I just waste my time?
Please help me. :(
The cost of re-applying is negligible, while the potential benefit is good. The worst result is you'll waste a few minutes/hours. The best result is you get a job. Therefore, you should apply.

Indeed.
You've already got the cover letter done too. Its doubtful they'll remember the CV, just once it gets to the interview they may click but meh.
"I like the kid's moxy. He's a real go-getter. And not afraid to be embarrassed a second time."
Usually, they will call their second choice after the first one failed. But do it anyway. You're broke and unemployed. All you have is your dignity, and you don't even need that.
Thanks.
I'll just hope for the best.
What really pisses me off is the job "postings" that they have to put up just to say they did it even though they had the job earmarked for someone already.
Move north young man.
Don't do it. It's a trap.

Don't get mad at the company for that, get mad at the government.
EEOC FTW! :frusty:
Anyway, yes... do reapply. It's very unlikely to annoy whatever HR person is monitoring the applications. They understand. Just don't apply for the job ten times a day or something.
What Cal said. If the position gets reposted and they see your resume again, if they remember it, they're more likely to be surprised that you're following the status of the job and actually seem interested in working there.
Also, I would recommend calling them even if you've applied electronically.
Even if they put "Please, no calls" in the ad? :unsure:

I once interviewed at a place, and didn't get the job. A couple months later, they call me back saying a new position opened and they thought I might be a good fit. So I go back for another interview, and I didn't get the job.

I've had that happen also. But I've also gotten a job that way as well. It can work. (unless you don't try) Fear of rejection is something you need to get over when hunting jobs or love.
I was once interviewed for a job and didn't get it. They called again a month later or so because they had two more openings and I got one of those. The job I eventually got was much better than the original job.

Yes.
After I graduated college, I entered a master's program and I got a credential to teach in May. However, there are no teaching jobs in California and what few pop up are quickly snagged by more experienced teachers who are out of work.

Anyway, if your teaching work is boring, then bring in examples of the work and your lesson plans. Go into how you planned the lesson, factors you took into consideration, how you adjusted the lesson on the fly, lessons learned after class finished. Stuff like that.

Is this the best time to try to get a teaching job in California, of all places? What with their budget problems and all that. :unsure:
Yes.
When I started this program, education was fine. In hindsight, it might have been better for me to bow out when I was only 6,000 dollars in rather than the full 18k, but I thought i'd wait and see how things played out.
It is kinda bad. The teacher I worked with my last semester retired, and the school has no money to replace him. It was always said to us that teachers retire, and schools have to hire to replace. Instead, they're simply increasing class sizes.
I should have stayed at _____.
Is moving to another state an option?
Possibly, it just doesn't seem possible right now because I can't find a work and I'm nearing broke.
I did get a job for this friday though. I'm going to be wearing a grand opening sign and wearing a large rubber finger to help spread the word to people driving by about the grand opening of a new gas station. 10.00/hour.

I have more or less seen all of the above in actual interviews. The last one happened like half a dozen times. The second to last one was where I was interviewing this chick and her cell phone rang, and it was another agency. She chatted openly with the other agency right in the middle of the interview about another position, and the first question after she hung up was "So like how much do you guys pay again? You'll need to top $65K." I don't think she was scamming me, though.
Also, as far as eating/drinking, I had one girl bring a Frosty into the interview and eat it, and another dude bring a 2 liter of Coke and repeatedly chug it during the interview.
Good times.

I agree, the interviewer should show respect to the interviewee and not take phone calls during an interview. I was responding to Grey Fox's apparent outrage at the inequality between the two positions.
QuoteWhile the interviewer was in the middle of a long-distance call, the applicant took out a copy of a popular men's magazine and looked at the photos only, stopping longest at the centerfold.
I was reacting to that one. I mean, when your interviewer is such an ass to take a call in the middle of your interview you gotta entertain yourself somehow.

@Yi
If someone refuses to respect rank in an interview, they are unlikely to do so when they become an employee. People tend to be on their best behavior in an interview. I don't really think it's a good idea to being someone onboard who is disrespectful to you, because there's a good chance they'll be disrespectful to your boss as well and that may reflect poorly on your judgment.

Go kick some ass, Jaron :bowler:
Go kiss some ass Jaron. :cheers:
Cal, you have Vast Experience. What do you think of people who ask the company for references (ex-employees)?
:huh:
Providing references for ex-employees is a professional obligation. It doesn't color my opinion of former employees one way or the other. :mellow:

I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. Do the companies you have worked for regularly provide references (ex-employees) that prospective employees can ask about what it's like working for the company?

You know, I've never heard someone ask if they can speak with an ex-employee before. I wonder if privacy laws would even allow info like that to be released. :huh:
I've asked before to speak to current employees, and gotten okayed.

Me neither. I read in the paper this morning something about asking to talk to employees (when an intreviewee) but I thought that only ex-employees would be worthwhile. For the same reasons you want to ask the interviewee's ex-bosses, not his current boss.
Which privacy laws exactly?
I got it!
Full time and they are starting me off at 16.00 hour!

Having a job is good in this county.

I've been working since I was a young man, I think I can handle this. :huh: Stop trying to bring me down, mo' fucka.
Congratulations, Jaron. :)
Thank you. :)
Not only is it good that you got the job, you will be helping others get jobs too, sounds very fulfilling.
Finally I am complete. After almost a decade of feeling worthless, I finally feel like good things are within reach.
Maybe once I settle my debts, I might even save up and try to move out. I'll just find some hot room mates.

Jaron will be teaching them to think *outside* the Box.
Come on guys, I haven't worked at Jack in the Box in almost 5 years. Get over it already. :P

Yeah, but I was awesome.
Actually we never raided more than 3 nights a week. And Sunday wasn't necessarily consistent anyway.
But we didn't have Jaron-like people in the guild, so we were able to get a lot done anyway. :P
Oh snap, Berkie with a smackdown.
