Ok. i have a situation. So i went for an interview a week ago, the interview went very well & left me feeling that i had the job, but then you know what happened...i didn't get the job. The employer sent me a rejection letter via email, so i wrote back thanking them for interviewing me etc. Anyways the next day i am still looking for jobs on monster & i see this job advertised, it looked like it was being offered by the same company (the position i interviewed for was from a blind ad, & this one was too). It was a different position, but i felt that my experience met most of their requirements. So i wrote an email to the hiring manager and requested them to consider me for this position too. So far i haven't heard anything from him. I wrote to the manager that interviewed me & i haven't heard anything yet. Did i make an error? I have been wondering if i messed up by trying to contact them on the 2nd position (being it was a blind ad, maybe i wasn't supposed to know it was theirs?)

I think you did the right thing. That's why I dislike blind ads. Could be a different job with same company, or a different company. Keep trying - something good will turn up.

Drop the issue. You had your kick at the can and for some reason they did not think you were right for the job. Even if you get another interview, it will turn out the same way. Your qualifications may have been OK, but maybe they didn't like the way you look or acted.

It's hard to say what they are thinking. At this point, I would say just go ahead and respond to the blind ad. Do not mention anything about previous interview or contacts. They will either consider you or reject you. If you don't hear from them, just keep job hunting. You have nothing to lose.

its hard alot of companies aren't very good with dealing with employment id say you were lucky to get a letter alot of companies dont even bother! I dont think you did anything wrong in applying for the other job, but you have to remember that it takes them a while to gain applications and sort out interviews its not unusual to have to wait some time before hearing back. Keep applying for other jobs that interest you and if you dont hear from them just remember its there loss. good luck

I think you did just fine. If nothing else, they know you are serious about wanting to work there. You have nothing to lose, right?
If you want some advice on interviewing - maybe that will help in the future, take a look at the site below.

Just keep looking they probably are being biased or found someone who meets a quota, or someone better.
