I can't give too much detail on this as it would be outing. But in a nutshell, would you apply for a job the second time round if you lost out first time round to someone who had no experience in the field? The person they did go with has decided he doesn't want to continue in the role and would like to return to his previous role within the firm. We were both internal candidates. This is just less than 6 months into the job, and he was really happy to move across to us from his previous role, which he found stressful so he must be pretty unhappy.
He's found that he's not getting the support or guidance from his management that he needs in the role; there's also the possibility that the role isn't what he thought it would be - and he's now wanting to go back to what he was doing previously - looks like the vacancy will come round again. But would I be a fool to give it a second attempt? I too, am slightly worried that the support in that job may not be there..........that's a slight aside as they didn't choose me in any case first time round. No-one has mentioned it too me either - but it's only just happened so I'm assuming the news will "break" soon.
Thoughts?
