JOB SEEKER TIPS:

Take two: Successfully reapplying to a company after rejection
By CareerBuilder

“If possible, make connections with other employees at the company. Established employees may have valuable insights into why you didn’t get the job. If you’re well qualified for the position, you may want to consider the company culture. Speaking to someone within the company can yield great insights into things like dress code, beliefs, values, and behavior. Understanding an organization’s culture may help you tailor your resume to better suit the company’s vision and mission. This type of information will also prove invaluable in the interview, where hiring managers assess your cultural fit with the company in person.”
