With no surprise, I received a rejection a week ago. I looked at the job listings today and saw a job I'm qualified for, but with a different department. The job I interviewed for a few months back was with Finance, this job is with the Marketing department, so I don't think I'll be interviewing with the same folks from before. But this is a small company so I'm sure when I email my resume, the same HR coordinator who coordinated the interview, made me take excel test, etc will be my contact person again.

Is it worth applying again? It's a bit embarrassing since I got disqualified even before I interviewed for taking too long on Excel test last time. The job description says I need a Words Per Minute of 50 which I can easily surpass, I'm guessing they'll make me take a typing test, which I'm very confident of passing.

Thank you.

What do you have to lose? I would be so persistent that either they will give me a job or call the cops on me. Call the HR person you already know and tell them, sorry to hear things didn't work out with Department 1 but I saw a job for Department 2 and let me tell you why I think I am the right person for this.

Just do it. As Staggerlee posted, what do you have to lose.

To those who say they've never heard of the title, "hiring manager", that's because it isn't a title. It's a way to refer to any person who is making the decision in the hiring process. If the Director of Market Research is making the decision on hiring a Project Manager, the Director of Market Research will also be referred to as the hiring manager (for that position - the position of Project Manager).

I hope that clears up confusion about the phrase.
