Reapply for job after rejection

[Needsomebloodyperspective]

I need to ask advice please for my son. He recently went for a job interview thought it went well, is autistic so sometimes can’t ’read the room’ she was rejected as they went with someone else.

they have just seen the job has only today reposted and asked if he should reapply? What do you think?

We've had this happen, and did not re-interview the candidate.

Did she ask for feedback after her first interview?

I suppose there's no harm in applying again, but she may not get an interview.

I personally wouldn't. If they were interested and their first candidate pulled out, they would have reached out to him.

You say son but then say "she"?

But no, they shouldn't reapply. For whatever reason they weren't offered the job initially, if they've reposted the job the company will have done this intentionally after deciding not to offer the job to anyone who has previously interviewed.

I've done it once for a job... but there were about 6 months between re advertising.

Got the job, no second interview... if your DC wants the job, I'd say go for it!

Probably not. But they could give it a go. Would they feel comfortable saying, 'I noticed you are still advertising for this vacancy and am reapplying as it really appeals to me. I was rejected in the last round – I am autistic and so don't always come across well in interviews. But I believe I could bring {whatever relevant skills or experience] to the vacancy and hope you might consider giving me another try.

DS2 is autistic and he is terrible at interviews. He simply can't tell what is needed. He gives closed answers, doesn't elaborate, doesn't think well on his feet and still thinks he's done okay. Then is surprised and upset when he is rejected. He was very resistant to being given any help or practice, but I have gone over and over some good interview techniques with him and he is starting to implement some of them. He got the last job he went for, and has done well in jobs he got through word of mouth, no interview required.
