Hi folks-- Y'all are smart and sensible. I need some advice on how to approach applying for a job for the third time.
It's partly grant-writing, of which I have some brand-new experience, and partly city planning, for a county government. When it was first advertised last October I applied. (Can't recall if they ever send a rejection letter.) Saw it advertised again in March (which is when I wrote my very first grant application), applied again (including a 50-mile drive to my old campus to pick up my transcript, since I did not have one and the deadline was that day.)
Now it's advertised again. I don't want to come across as "gee you sure are picky" or "did the last one not work out? see ya should've hired me!" or "I'm b-a-a-c-k!" But I've been on the other side of the HR desk and understand why they might be running it again (they are picky, or they made a political choice and it didn't work out).
Ideas, please. Sewing content: I want to wear my professional clothes to a real job!
TIA
