What it means when a job ad gets reposte...

Interview Boss
About this episode

Seeing the job you’ve applied for get re-posted can send you into a full-blown spiral. Does it mean you’re out of the running? That they didn’t like your application? Or is it just bad hiring?

In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma unpack exactly what’s going on behind the scenes when a role pops up again after you’ve already applied. From lazy auto-reposts to managers chasing a “perfect” unicorn candidate, there are plenty of reasons that have nothing to do with you.

We’ll talk through what might actually be happening, when it does mean something, and what smart next steps you can take (including when to follow up — and when to just let it go).

Should I apply if I don't have quite enough experience?
When a job ad lists a certain number of years’ experience, there’s no way to know whether it’s a hard and fast rule or just a guide, and that’s exactly the point. Since you can’t predict which way a company will lean, if you’re close enough, it’s worth applying.In this week’s epi ... Show More

Don't be fooled by the 'casual chat' trap
You’ve been invited in for a “casual chat.” No panel, no formal questions, maybe even coffee instead of a meeting room. Sounds chill, right? Not so fast. These chats might feel relaxed, but they’re still interviews, and plenty of people get caught out by treating them like they’r ... Show More
