Would you re-apply at a company that previously rejected you? Why or why not?

Would you come back at a later time and reapply for a role that previously rejected you? Why or why not?

Reapplying for a job that previously rejected you can be a smart move if circumstances have changed. If you've gained new skills, experience, or qualifications that address the reasons for the initial rejection, or if the role itself has evolved, it may be worth trying again. Companies' hiring needs shift over time, and a fresh application with a stronger resume could make a difference. However, if the rejection was due to a poor cultural fit or unchanged qualifications, reapplying might not be effective. Before doing so, seek feedback, tailor your application, and, if possible, network with company insiders to improve your chances.

I have re-applied for a position. The information for the position is typically general/generic. I work in a technical field, a position could be listed multiple times but the company could have different specific needs for the different posting (i.e. database - SQL, Oracle, etc).

When I would apply multiple times, I would make each application tailored a little differently. My thought is it shows additional time/effort, and interest in working for the company.

It depends. If the job had tons of applications and someone else was more qualified and they relayed that to me then yes I would. However if the company ghosted me and did not give a reason then no.

No creo que volvería porque en esa empresa hay trabajo y a mí me descansaron simplemente por las habladas de persona y que hablan mal de uno y también como no va haber trabajo si dejan a personas nuevas que no saben hacer el trabajo y lo descansan a uno que ya tiene experiencia de ocho años y las dejan a ellas pues está bien pero eso lo veo injusto por eso no volvería a trabajar ahí con esa empresa.
