I applied for this job back in May and I was
rejected the next day. Totally forgot about it, and I accidentally applied for it again two weeks later because they reposted it on LinkedIn. A few days ago, they emailed to schedule an interview. It’s the exact same job posting, same company, same position, and same resume - I did not change anything. What is going on?? Also how seriously should I take the interview? Asking because I’ve had a few interviews where it was pretty clear they had someone else in mind and I was sort of a back up. ETA: definitely doing the interview! Just trying to gauge how much time I should sink into prepping for it, or if I should just treat it as practice
