I noticed that a company I interviewed with three months ago just reposted the exact same job listing for the third time. They told me back then that I was a fantastic candidate but they chose to go with someone who had a bit more specific industry background. Clearly, that perfect person didn't work out, or they never actually hired anyone at all. Does anyone else get tempted to re-apply to companies that rejected them?

One of my previous employers, I had to apply three times before getting hired. I ended up there over 10 years and worked my way through several roles. Sometimes it really is just timing. Nothing stops me from applying to companies several times any more.

I have reapplied to some companies. Even though some ended up being red flags, I did enjoy a long run with a few of my jobs that I did that with.

Hi all,

I am an IT professional having almost 5 years of experience and want to move to Canada for PR. My CRS score is not upto the cut off. I need someone who can help in earning connections points for Manitoba PNP program.

As it allows having an acquaintance or a friend to earn those 20 points, it can help my PR application.

Anyone who is PR and resident of Manitoba can dm me to discuss around it. I am ready to pay for this assistance as well.
