I got rejected for an associate position after went through all rounds of interview a couple of months ago. At the same time, I also applied for senior associate position in the same group. Today, I received an email asking my availability for screening interview for the senior position. I never had this experience before so am trying to understand what to do in this situation.

If they ask, just tell them you didn’t get the job because you were over qualified.

Yes, a different one. But would you it make sense to talk to the recruiter? I do not want to be disappointed like when I received the rejection.

Talk to the recruiter. I was rejected for a position at Mercer in SF but hired for the same position in NY. If you went through the interview process, it was the hiring manager not the recruiter who made the decision not to hire you. If this role reports to a different hiring manager, you could get a different outcome.

That makes sense! Thank you!
