I applied for a role 2 months back, but got a rejection saying they hired someone else. But weirdly, the job's still posted everywhere, even on their website. I heard they had a hiring freeze soon after I interviewed. Do you think it might be worth reaching out to HR again to confirm if the opportunity was truly filled or still open? I'm still interested even with the lower pay. Thoughts? Thanks!

I say go for it. I mean, it's not like it'll hurt, and they might take a second look at your resume. I'm always a big fan of advocating for yourself as much as possible and being a "squeaky wheel." Especially in this job market. Who knows, maybe you'll get an interview? Best of luck to you!

Maybe they just forgot to remove the posting, but it never hurts to ask. It’s a simple email, and the worst they can say is no, but at least you’ll know for sure!

I’d kind of lean towards not following up, although you don’t have much to lose either way. My concerns are if the job posting is back up, or never taken down, there is an issue either with the company or that role. Just something to watch for if you do reach out.

It’s definitely confusing when job postings stay up like that. I’d send a quick email, and just keep it light and positive. Maybe say you’re still interested and wanted to check in. It shows initiative, and you never know what could come of it. Good luck!

It's entirely possible it's a ghost job, a position companies post but have no intention of filling. There are various reasons why they do that, sometimes it's just to make it look like the business is doing well when it really isn't. Or, it could just be that they forgot to take the listing down wherever it was posted. It can't hurt to reach out to the company and ask, but I wouldn't be too optimistic about it.
