If you applied for a job a year ago and you didn't get the position and now a year later you apply for that same position and they call you for an interview do you go? This is a state laborer position, it pays very well.

Yes, of course go to the interview. To be invited to an interview means you are among the top candidates being considered. Whether you get the job depends upon how you stack up against the competition -- or at least, how well the interviewer thinks you stack up.
Also, consider that something could have changed since last year when you interviewed. You now have a years' more experience, for one thing. Also, the employer could have changed something in the job description so their criteria is somewhat different now -- or there could be a new person in charge of hiring who has a different outlook.
Go with the attitude that you are the best person for the job and try to let them see why you would be an ideal fit. (Do this without coming across as arrogant. Try for quiet self assurance).

I would go and do not mention that you applied a year ago,
Because there was a reason that you did not get the job.
A company keeps your resume on hand for 6-9 months, some don't even keep it. I say go for it and see what happens. In a case like this there are only 2 answers, Yes you have the job or We will call you (3 week later still no call) that means sorry.
Give it a shot and see what happens.
Good Luck

the 2nd interview itself would be comparable to the 1st in some respects: a communication with one or 2 interviewers, or with a panel. it is in all probability to variety from the 1st interior of here techniques: The interview would be extra heavily with regards to the paintings you will possibly do than the 1st - your interviewer may be a line supervisor. 2nd interviews for paintings of a technical nature could circulate into technical questions in extra beneficial intensity. you're interviewed via extra senior individuals of team: senior workers and/or line managers Your first interviewer could have left notes of any factors from that interview which choose following up, including obvious weaknesses or loss of know-how/motivation. think of approximately any areas of your first interview which you experience you have gotten dealt with extra helpful – those will especially much quite arise back! With some employers, the 2nd degree of the determination technique will encompass not something extra beneficial than this interview; with, possibly, a excursion of the premises and of project to fulfill others. Many considerable recruiters, in spite of the undeniable fact that, will use a 'determination centre' (additionally properly-referred to as an 'assessment centre). An interview is merely one area of a variety centre, that still will contain psychometric checks, in-tray workouts, team discussions, team initiatives and guy or woman reflects. (that's rather authentic whilst recruitment of graduates is going on). shop cool and sturdy success!

YES!!!!!!!!!You go. They probably did not give you the position last year because they had someone else qualified. Now, they want to speak to you because they like what you see. So, if you are sure that you really want this job. Go for the interview and follow through. I learned that in one of my college courses.
Good luck,

Yeah, of course. You might already have a contact inside that you can talk to.
The only way I wouldn't go is if there was a very specific reason you were turned down before. If they simply decided to go with somebody else, then it shows that you are determined and really want the position.

Of course! They may have found an applicant they thought was better last time; however, they are re-hiring, so that person wasn't that great, were they? Go. If nothing else, you will get better and better at interviews.

Wouldn't hurt, and who knows you may get the job this time. One thing is for certain, if you don't go, you will NOT get the job

Most definitely. Maybe they discovered you have Veterans benefits or there is another reason to fill a quota. Who cares. Go for it.
