This is weird but the place I had two interviews with re-posted the position. They sent a email to me telling me that they found a better candidate than me. Now I don't know if it didn't work out with that individual. But, wouldn't you think they would of called me maybe? I felt like sending my resume personally. I'm confused. ANy advice would be cool...Maybe they didnt like me.

Wouldn't hurt to try them again, what's the worst that could happen?

Like blargoe said it couldn't hurt. You already know the feeling of being rejected

I was rejected by my current employer. They called me back a month later, and offered me much more than I asked for initially. Nothing to lose.

Go for it man. You don't sound bitter about it, but if they interview you again, be as upbeat as possible. Their decision to choose another candidate wasn't personal at all. I had a coworker who was laid off due to budget cuts, and they were going to rehire him a few months later but during the interview he was obviously still bitter about the situation so they hired someone else. Good luck!

Yeah I will give it another try. We shall see. Thanks everyone.

unless the advert states "previous applicants need not apply" or simliar I'd certainly follow it up, look on the positive side they may have assumed your no longer on the market or interested in them.

either way got nothing to lose

Not as weird as you think. I had this happen to me in a different industry. They aren't going to call you assuming you have moved on to a different position. At least that's what they told me in my case.

So, what the heck! Apply again and this time if they offer, shoot for the moon!

The same thing happened to me a few years ago. I went through 2 full interviews with a written and verbal exam , then had a 3rd Interview / Ride-Along. On the Ride-ALong I had to "shadow" and help out one of the Network Admins. I did well and got along fine with him. I ended getting an email forwarded from the company's administrative assistant from the IT Director saying I wasn't a good fit the next day. I missed about 2 full days of work to go on those interviews. I was pretty ticked. The company had the ad posted, and even called a friend of mine that had a resume posted online about the position several weeks later.

If a company fills a position and the selected candidate doesn't work out (fails a drug test, takes a better offer, etc.) many times the company will do a direct offer to the other finalists. It costs them time and $$$ to repost the position.
