TLDR: Applying for job on the same team you were just rejected from.

Got a generic rejection email even though I thought I had some good interviews. Just saw a more fitting role pop up on that team that’s more in line with what I am looking for. Is it a lost cause or are there good ways to navigate this?

If I were you I’d reach out to your contact at the company, thank them for the consideration and then let them know you have interest in the other role.

It might also help to ask beforehand if they have an feedback about your interview! Couldn’t hurt to connect with someone and ask :)

Hmmm that’s a tough one—if this a company you really want to be at then definitely reach out again and let them know you’re applying. Maybe go the extra mile and let them know why you’re a great fit, why you want to be on their team, and how you will make an impact.

If they still don’t reply, maybe that’s a red flag on their part!

Hi all, I got laid off from my current company (product based) a month ago. Since then I've been looking for new opportunities. I got an offer from a good product based company with a good package and also my current company offering me rehire with promotion and a good package. I have a good rapport with my current manager, and he played a major role in offering this rehire opportunity. I'm confused about making the right decision here. Kindly share your views. Both offers are pretty much same.

I received a referral for a company, however, when the recruiter reached out to me, it was for a role at a higher level than the job I originally submitted for (Manager vs. Sr. Specialist).

I only have a little under 2 years of direct experience for the role and the role requires 5. Should I ask to be considered for the lower level role before moving forward?

I’m actively job searching but not receiving ideal hits. I see a lot of senior level L&D roles but not as many for specialist roles, specifically in tech. I have 5.5 years of experience. Any advice for me? I’m also seeking therapy for the trauma & coping, now ready for securing that next role!
