Would you reapply for a job to a company you ignored?

[Anonymous]

I applied to a job about 6 months ago.

Apparently they rang me but I don't remember.

I ignored the email. as I wasn't sure later if I want the job.

They are re-advertising for the same job as the person got a promotion.

I was thinking, should I change my email address and pretend I didn't see the other email from 6 months ago or would that be embarrassing?

I like the job I applied for at the time, jobs were low 6 months ago so thought I would be better off where I am now.

Where I am now, my manager is toxic so I want to leave.

I logged into their website, so would they know I logged into my account under my current email?

Yes you should try. There is nothing to loose, especially you don't like you current job

Why do you care? The worst thing they can say is no. It's just business, not personal. Never take business personal.

[AI Opinion]

Reapplying to the same company isn’t embarrassing. Honesty and professionalism can work in your favor. Consider reaching out with a note expressing genuine interest in the position and explain your circumstances without delving into too much detail. Highlight what has changed since your last application and why you're now a great fit. Everyone understands that situations change, and demonstrating enthusiasm for the role now can leave a positive impression. Reapplying with integrity may increase the likelihood of being reconsidered. Changing your email could cause trust issues if discovered, so transparency is best.
