Resubmitting resume-no bueno?

So I applied for a position through a company's website. I normally hate those since they require you to copy/paste your resumé (losing all formatting,bolds and italics!) and apply with a generic looking resume.

In any case few days later I had a chance to really enhance my resume and made it pretty good with all the info I needed.

I went back I to the company's site to "update" my resume and reapply for the job and obviously I was told that " I have already applied for the job"

So I create another profile, upload the newly enhanced resume and was able to reapply for the position.

Did I just mess up my chance of getting the job?

Thanks for the input.

I wouldn't have thought so.

You wouldn't have hurt it. Just don't forget that with some of those jobs it takes forever for them to actually get to you. I have a phone screening today for a job I applied to about a month ago. I had to check back in my records (I record all my applications in one note for reference) to find out when I had applied as I couldn't remember off the top of my head. I have nearly a hundred different site logins from my job search right now.
Keep tryiong and don't get discouraged.

I sometime wonder (and shiver) that I am this impatient while i actually have good & well paying job,,,what will happen to me when (God forbid) I am looking when I don't have a job... ouch..

I have only applied to 3-4 places to see if they grab but have not had any luck but a phone interview where I was told that ALL my skills, experience and knowledge matches their requirements BUT since i have only managed 3-4 people, they are looking or someone who has managed 30.. really?! And don't get me started on job requirements where not only they want you to be a Network Engineer but a Software engineer, an IT/Help-desk Manager and a Goddamn accountant/poet/philanthropist also (sarcasm)!! seriously!!??

Back to topic...I guess my concern is that the HR sees 2 resumes from the same person and judges my intelligence even before an interview option...

OH well...i guess If I don't get it, it wasn't meant to be...
