Hi,
Should I apply again for an job that I scheduled an interview with, but then backed out and left a message that I decided not to persue the position. Today they posted the position again on their website, and I was having second thoughts. Stupid of me to cancel, I know. What do you all think?
Thanks.

Why did you cancel the previous interview?
Perhaps that might give you a discussion point to start the conversation.
In today's marketplace, both professional and non professional positions might be in a spot to find qualified employees and might extend a further look.
I would not re apply. However, if you are genuine and serious about reaching out...go back to that last contact and schedule a coffee meeting to re connect and ask the question in person.
Lastly, if you are not serious in the position long term...do not cross the bridge and do not think another moment about the could of ...should of or would of ...thoughts.....

I don't hold out much hope for you being reconsidered, but nothing ventured nothing gained. Out of curiosity, what did you tell them as your reason for canceling the interview, or did you just leave a VM with I changed my mind?
Call your contact at the company tomorrow. You can tell them that circumstances have drastically changed since the time of your last interview. Ask them if they would consider your for this position now, that you are not going to change your mind, and that you are ready to move ahead full force.
Would you be ready to quit your current job if you get offered this position? If so, then tell your contact that when you call him/her. Tell them that you are ready to commit yourself to the interview process and to this position if you are offered it.
Again, I'm not too sure if the company will consider you again. It might depend on how badly they need the position filled and how strong of a candidate you are. But if you don't call them and try then you are definitely not going to be considered for this position. The worst that is going to happen is that the company will tell you thanks but no thanks. If you don't call at all you know this is the outcome. You might be surprised and the company might just reconsider you.
Good luck.

If you think you are qualify for the position and know you can do it, then give it a go. The firm may not contact you, but if you are on their short list and you get an interview then you have nothing to lose. I did the same thing many years ago and ending up with the job and stayed for 19 years.

Chalk it up to a good experience to learn from. Next time, go through with the interview, even if you don't want the position. Everybody needs experience interviewing. And besides, going to the interview doesn't mean you get the job or get offered the job. Looking for work is hard, and we all need experience at it.

I agree with everyone else... move on and do not apply again. One mistake you also made was leaving a message. Always have the professional consideration if you have to cancel to at least call back and talk to the person. At least you did let them know...more than some people do!

No. To tell them you changed your mind would be telling them you can't make a decision and stand by it.
In the future, take the interview. You can always refuse if they make an offer and you do not feel the offer meets your needs.

You would only look like a fool, just forget that one and try for something else. Next time really look at the position before you do anything rash.

overlook about it as you've burned that bridge. you probably did the right problem by ability of contacting them. although, in case you bypass lower back and ask to be reconsidered, they'll see you as unreliable and thoughtless. after all, how do they comprehend that you gained't replace your concepts in the adventure that they presented you the pastime? i might want to flow onto some thing else. to boot, you waited 16 days to inform them that you replaced your concepts and may want to consent to be interviewed? it would not paintings that way contained in the genuine international.

You blew it.. especially if it was a professional position.
Move on and don't waste your time reapplying in the near future.
