A few months ago with a local small consulting firm, I had a couple of in person interviews. At the time, I was looking at a jobs in a different cities and was candid about my openness to moving. I got the a rejection letter & reached out. I was told they liked me as a candidate, but the company has gotten burned in the past by people moving away quickly. I have decided I want to stay in the city and will only apply for local jobs. Best way to open communication again? LinkedIn? Cold apply?

Hoping there are some positive stories out there to give me hope. Haha
