Actually, the first question you should be asking yourself here is should you apply for the same job twice?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you previously sent in an application and never heard anything back, then you potentially don\u2019t have anything to lose by trying again. What\u2019s the worst that\u2019s gonna happen? You\u2019ll get ignored again?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you got to the interview stage and didn\u2019t get the job, you also have a chance here. If you truly think you\u2019ve got the right skills for the job – or perhaps you\u2019re the right cultural fit for the company but would be better suited in another role – then by all means get in touch with the recruiter and try again.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, you can apply for the same job twice, as long as you\u2019re careful about it. Follow these basic guidelines if you really, really, really want to try again:<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. If you\u2019re applying online, remember that many organisations will use resume screening software to filter people out. You\u2019re likely going to have to change your approach so that the machines don\u2019t kick you out this time!<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Alter the layout, font and point size of your resume. Change the flow slightly; use some different language. It all helps.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Take another look at the job description. What keywords do they use when talking about the experience needed and responsibilities included? Make sure to replicate these words throughout your resume.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Dig deeper. Instead of just saying, \u201cI have experience leading a team\u201d, give concrete examples and data, where possible. Numbers, percentages and other figures will all help to quantify how capable you are for this role.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Apply using a different email address (and phone number, if possible). You\u2019ll already be in their system, so this is a surefire way to get around it.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Take a breath. Patience is a virtue! You don\u2019t necessarily need to re-apply straight away – sometimes you\u2019ve got a better chance at being hired if you give it time. Especially if that job description stays online for months, it means they\u2019re clearly having issues filling the role. This would be a great time to try your luck a second time.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. No matter what happens, stay in touch with the hiring manager in a friendly manner. Drop them an email every now and then – even if you\u2019ve got another job – and let them know what you\u2019re up to, what you\u2019re achieving, and what new skills you\u2019ve picked up. You never know, you could end up getting hired for a very similar job in a year or so!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    At the end of the day, the worst thing that could happen is that you don\u2019t get hired – again. So, what\u2019s the harm? Good luck!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
