I've recently interviewed with two companies. Both rejected me stating that I was an "impressive candidate," but they decided to fill the positions internally. It's strange that I heard the same reason during the same month from two different companies.
One of the companies told me to keep an eye on its web site for future opportunities. I applied online for two other positions, and I called to inform the HR rep with whom I had dealt that I had applied, but I did not hear back from her.
Are there any HR people who could tell me whether I'm wasting my time in re-applying to these companies? Were they just being polite about rejecting me the first times? |

I'm in the same situation, I applied a year ago and noticed last week that the position is open, again. They told me I was exceptional, and I know I was in the top three. The job is highly specialized and my experience and education is really excellent for the position. I also felt the five hour interview went very well. As a result, I went online and applied, thinking it never hurts to try, again. I'm going to look at last year's calendar, and see if I can't locate the HR person and give her a call. I feel I might have been rejected because of my school (not ivy) and age, although I have a recent MBA and a 3.8 GPA and have worked for impressive employers. I've been watching the online job ads at this company. I noticed that they were advertising for the main hiring manager's position about six months ago. I'm thinking he may have moved on, which may give me a second chance. Any thoughts?
