I applied for a job about a month and a half ago, I was selected for the interview and it didn't go too well. It was just one of those bad days... Anyway, the company posted the ad for that position again. Would it be innapropriate to apply again?

I think you should apply again ... all they can do is say no. And that is not the end of the world.
Good Luck!

Most companies will know you've interviewed unsuccessfully before. And, they have no reason to give you another chance. So, if you want that, you need a convincing reason why they should. You can't get this across just by applying again. You need an excellent letter, email, or phone call to explain, and "just one of those bad days" won't cut it. Think about this hard before investing anymore time, unless you do have a compelling story to tell. If your skill set is particularly unique, that will help the situation. If this is an entry-level job, I wouldn't bother. Not that they shouldn't give you another chance, just that they don't need to--they'll have other candidates that they don't have any negative history with.

Nothing Ventured nothing gained. I interviewed for a job did not get it. I saw the position was open 3 months later applied and I got the job.

No, you should apply agian for the job.Show them what you are really made of.Show them that you have improved on certian aspeks.Also ,show them that the last time, you wasn't yourself when you walked in for the interview.
A piece of advice...try not to tell them you when for the interview before.Only say it if they asked.To cover the past blunder ,tell them that the last time you had lack of exposure.
GOOD LUCK

I would contact the person that you interviewed with, provided they are still with the company and tell him/her that I noticed that they are still in need of a candidate to fill their vacancy and that I am still interested in the position.
I would humbly ask for a second chance to convince them that I am the one they are seeking.
Good luck.

no I don't think I would unless it has been over 3 months alot of companies keep you on file for 3 months incase or for refrence but it doesn't hurt to try I guess.You never know they maybe forgiving and be willing to see how you would work for the company.It would probably be based on your expiernce if they feel you would be right for the job.

Sure. Brush it off to a bad interview. The more interviews that you do, the better you will get at it.

Its up to you. I personally wouldn't because if they didn't like how you did in the interview, they may remember that. If you go back, just put your best foot forward and go for it!
