Indeed. Lol....I'm not quite sure what to do. Should I reapply? I guess none of the people they interviewed were any good? Picky picky!

Once I was on job interview and they didn't choose me with reason "we preferred another candidate". The job offer was then posted on again and I again replied and they rejected me quite harshly. Obviously they lied.

Then I was looking into history and my first job was second attempt. Firstly they rejected me without an interview and after one month I tried it again, because I forgot I was rejected before and they invited me for an interview and later they accepted me.

I think you should wait some time - if you was on the interview, maybe rather about a few months.

It annoys people when you don’t take no for an answer. I would not reapply anywhere, frankly, but it is still appropriate to reapply about once every six months. They may take applications more often than that, but they will ignore a person who reapplies too frequently.

They must be looking for a specific set of skills or a specific kind of person.

I would move on and apply elsewhere.

They never actually told me no....they just didn't communicate with me after the interview. I sent a thank you e-mail, but they never responded even to that.

For the record, and I'm not sure if this makes any difference, but they were actually hiring multiple people for the job.

Generally I would say "No". But I have a quality called tenacity. And in some circles tenacity is a very valuable quality. I applied for acceptance to a certain university and they said "No." I asked for a reconsideration and they said "No" again. After about the 5th time, they reconsidered and accepted my application and placed me in probationary status. Once they let me in I did fine.

I reapplied at a place I had an interview at & didn't get the job. Every time I reapplied I got an email rite after that I was rejected so I think they pub me in some kind of defiantly No status rite after the interview. At least they sent me an email a day or so after the interview telling me I didn't get the job. I reapplied at other places many times but I hadn't got interviews there or I had worked since then & had more work experience to list. I called to check on apps I put in at different places cuz an organization that was supposed to help me get a job recommended that & I kept getting told things like how they don't get through all the apps before hiring & they don't have time to check on individual apps so I don't think it's bad to reapply at places you never got an interview at.

The job I just left, the next day the company put up an ad on there Facebook page, looking for my replacement already, lol.

I've had the above situation happen too. There was this sort of bird related volunteer job nearby but all it "payed" was reduced rent at a house across the street from the bird sanctuary... They rejected me but I kept an eye on that house but nobody seemed to be moving in... Months later they put the ad back on their website but they responded to me it was a mistake... As far as we can tell over a year later house still looks empty, but I think not many people want to work for just reduced rent...

I keep running across a job posting I applied for months ago.
It was with a subsidiary of the company I was just working for and initially I did get asked to do a video interview, which is a recording of you answering questions that they watch later.
I decided not to do the video interview and just stay with my current position.
Then my position was eliminated and I got laid off so I re-applied for that job and got immediately rejected. Not just a we're going with other candidates but that they would not consider me for this position.
Well, over 3 months later and they're still posting it on the job sites. I also applied for another position with the same company and got the same response so I must be blacklisted in their hiring database. (Geesh, it's not like I was fired.)
So, I decided it was probably in my best interest to move on anyway. But I agree with SocOfAutism, 6 months is a reasonable time to re-apply if you're still interested.
