I applied for a job that was perfect for my background - 5+ years doing exactly what they needed. The phone interview went well, the hiring manager told me he was impressed and even sent me a LinkedIn request right after. But then they rejected me without doing an in-person interview. Now I see the same job posted again. I ended up removing him from LinkedIn when I got the rejection. What would you do - apply again or try reaching out to him?

If you're sure you would be applying to the same hiring manager, then I would reach out to him instead. Let him know that you're still interested in the position that you've noticed has been reposted, and ask if there's something he felt was missing from your application.

Neither!

I’d probably reach out, but keep it casual. Maybe send a short message asking if the role has been reopened and express that you’re still very interested. Worst case, he doesn’t reply. Best case, you’re back in the running.

Wow, I am sorry that happened to you. It honestly wouldn't hurt to apply again or reach out. You may not get an answer but it doesn't hurt to ask.

I would reach out. It might've been a miscommunication or misunderstanding. It would be better to have a frank conversation, rather than apply out of nowhere after removing him.

Just got another rejection email. I was really hoping to get a job this month. I'm slowly slipping into depression. Not to mention my post partum is hitting hard too.

Just wanted to share somewhere.
