That way the HR person can say an outright No, or refer the candidate for further interviews. <br /><br />And anonymous, if you are working for a company that posts job listings internally, chances are that you work for a big organization like me ( heck, even in the same one ;-)<br /><br />Even we in HR do not know about all our HR colleagues, and we would never have hard feelings about someone who applied for the same job again with a lovely cover letter as suggested by AAM.

But you never know.<br /><br />I'd definitely mention in your cover letter that you applied for the same position earlier, noticed that it was still open, and wonder if they'd consider you again, since your interest remains strong. Not mentioning it would seem strange -- like you didn't realize you'd already applied for the same job or were hoping they'd forgotten. Just politely mention it and ask if they might be open to giving you another look.

I can easily resubmit my resume without making any reference to last interview but will that $%$# off HR? I do plan to apply for other positions at the same company.

As someone who thankfully just found employment after three months of inactivity, I would say less than 2% of the time I received any communication back at any stage that I was no longer being considered for the position I had applied to.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16499302937513462550noreply@blogger.com
