2nd Work Interview Meeting

I just wanna know, is it normal to go to an interview meeting the 2nd or 3rd time around for the same firm and same vacancy?

Basically, I first applied for an IT role earlier this year, wasn’t offered after attending, applied again a week ago and they are inviting me.

Is this a normal thing? Usually if the first time they see you and you don’t get the offer, they don’t try again with you.

I’m just hoping it won’t be awkward they’re like “Uh… I remember you, didn’t we interview you earlier in the year” sort of questions.

Thank you.

I once had the different recruiters contact me within a month for the same job. Client wanted a unicorn, and kept switching recruiting firms. Wasn’t worth the effort I put in between the three recruiters, but your mileage may vary…

One of my many gigs was a few seconds at a Wal Mart.
3 interviews (for unskilled labour).

Yes, it could be that the person they offered the job to didn’t accept their offer or got another job

Just go in on the assumption that you only narrowly missed out last time, and some other consideration, whether a new opening on a similar team, or the previous candidate not working out, has left you in a good spot. It’s been a while since I was doing any hiring, but I often had to pick between people with similar credentials and similarly good interviews. I had to pick somebody, but I would have been happy taking my chances with either candidate and would have been quite relieved if they were still interested when the position opened back up. From the other side, when I first started at my current company, at least four or five of us came on to do the exact same job within a few months of each other, and the difference seems to have come down to how busy the hiring manager was when they first got the budget to bring someone on.

Friends husband went through this recently. Many places required 2-3 interviews. Often the first was with the department and the others included higher up people and HR. And sometimes they had tweaked the job description after the initial round of interviews.

This.

Alternatively, it might be that it’s just an additional identical role, but company policy means they need to go through a new round of interviews.
