I interviewed for a Program Manager position in broadcasting. I sent thank you notes to everyone who interviewed me over the phone. I now see that the job has been reposted. Should I send another note to the people who interviewed me to boost my chances of another interview or should I just sit and wait?

Good luck on your PM position. Good for you for sending thank you notes. My suggestion would be not to send the same message again, but a proactive strategy, would be to re-express your interest, highlight from the phone interview what you heard was most important and why you qualify, then offer to give the names of a few additional reference that might speak for your experience.

I think you know what re-posting means. Unless it is different where you are it means they are still looking. I know people tout interview etiquette, but honestly I have never sent thank you notes to anyone ever, and usually when I go on an interview I know exactly what my chances are when I leave the room. I have been offered many jobs in my time, but not one of them because I sent a note to the interviewers.

I'm a recruiter and deal with this sort of stuff here and there. I'd say give them a call to reassert your interest. Try and mention something that you may not have stressed when you last spoke with them. The worst that can happen is that you won't get the job, which is currently what's going to happen seeing as they reposted. Note that they may have reposted to get more candidates in the door because they want more options. That doesn't mean you aren't a finalist. It can't hurt to call. But only once. I can't stand people who call everyday. Makes me with I could push a button to shock them everytime they do.

It doesn't sound promising but I'd send a note anyway.
It's a small world, especially in certain industries, like broadcasting.
Plus, it's never a bad move to be very nice to someone. You may run across them in the future and you want them to leave a good impression even if they don't hire you... this time.

You should never just sit and wait for a job that you want badly. Go to the company, talk to them again. Show them you are really interested in the position. Employers want people who really want the job.

I would call them directly. It's possible no one is planning on calling you to inform you the position isn't yours.
I've had this happen, I just racked it up to an example of disrespect in the business world.
