[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would do it.  In fact, I did do it - my current job was position #4 that I interviewed for at my company.  Like in your case, this was the best fit/most direct experience out of all positions that I interviewed for.  There are some companies that don't let you apply again after you've been turned down for some time (I once was turned down for a position at a big private employer and they told me I wasn't eligible to interview again for 6 months), but they would let you know that was the policy - otherwise I don't see any reason not to try again.

Thank you - the anecdote is encouraging.  I am trying to relocate and have a handful of top organizations that I would most want to work for.  It's a smaller market and I know that my years of solid experience in DC should count for something![/quote]

Not only would I apply, if you thought the interviews went well and you had a good connection -- I would also reach out to the hiring manager from last time and say that you are applying for this other position, you remain interested in the company overall etc. He could easily pass your resume along with a note to the person doing the hiring for this position saying that he met you, you're great etc. -- that kind of thing can go a long way bc the new hiring manager has someone internally who can vouch for you so they know they won't be wasting their time bringing you in. Worst case scenario, the prior hiring manager ignores you or doesn't want to help -- not the end of the world, as you don't have to see him anyway and now you know not to reach out to him again.[/quote]
