100th post, whoop!
I went for an interview at a practice near me in late December, didn't get the job. I emailed for feedback asking why I didn't get the job but never got a reply. Do people think
a) It would be detrimental to email again asking for feedback so long after the interview?
b) To send another speculative CV when I'm a full member in July/August?
I'd really love to work at this place but am unsure if all that has happened so far should make me forget about it and move on?

I'd send another "speculative" CV Clegganator with a nice friendly chatty covering letter as opposed to a more formal staid one, stating that you had applied before when you had less experience and you now have the relevant qualifications .. state reasons WHY you want to work at this place (buff up on them) and what you think you could bring to the company to make them want you. I'd try a add a spot of colour somewhere on the CV near the top, so it stands out when being flicked through (as someone who has to go through dozens of these from time to time it sometimes helps to have one that stands out and is therefore "memorable"). Good Luck with the job hunt.0 -
My previous communication with said company has been through email but I like the principals you set out. The ice is broken so there's no need to start the formal introduction all over again. Thanks!
Does anyone else have any advice/opinions?0 -

Hi
Its never a bad idea to re-submit your cv even after failing the first round of interviews or even re-applying for a job with the same company - i applied some time ago with a company and made it to the second stage of interviews but was pip at the post for the job. I have now applied for another job and received a very promising reply stating that they had considered my appilcation and are pleased to put me through to a direct interview with team leader (past first stage of interview).
Just go for it at least it shows your keen.
Good Luck :001_smile:0 -
Excellent. Thanks again for all your input. I'll wait until July when I'll be all finished, MAAT and more employable(?) and resend to them and other firms.0
