A few months ago I was invited to apply for a position in my company’s corporate office while currently I work retail store management. I was so excited and did my best but wasn’t chosen. Recently the position is now open again… I’ve been unhappy in my current role/ lack of advancement and have been considering looking to work somewhere else where I can really build a career because I’ve been stagnant for so long only hearing ‘keep doing what you’re doing’… Would I look stupid applying again or even should I apply having not gotten the job the first time? What makes me really hesitant is that during the process they rescheduled me about 3 times for my interview. Although, all my personal contact information was on the top of my resume they continued to call me at my place of employment and even gave my interview feedback/ that I wasn’t selected to my boss to tell me and never contacted me directly! Gives a sour taste… looking for opinions on the situation. Thank you!

    Blessings you have so much to offer, if they are showing you how they operate, not polite and less than discrete, the signs are clear: seek other better options! It’s always smart to think about the little things. Best to you!

    Doesn't sound like a great place to work. If you're desperate give it a shot but keep looking too.
