Rejected - Reapplying?
I'm 16...I recently applied for a part time job at tescos, my local store is recruiting because they're extending the store. It would be handy to work there because it's fairly close to where I live and it's a big store and the kind of working environment I'd prefer... anyway my friend also applied there at the same time as me and her application got accepted and she now has a place there. I got rejected :( I know she had very open hours written on my form whereas I cut off weekend evenings and some weekday evenings (which when I applied I couldn't actually work because I had other commitments) but now my weekend evenings are free and I was wondering if it would be wise to reapply? Or should I just find somewhere else? I would really like to get a part time job here but do you think they might have my name listed somewhere and... boot me off or something lol... I reckon my hours are the reason my application was rejected. There was also some questionaire thing that could have been the problem but I'm confussed, should I go back to the recruitment office and explain to them my hours are better would it be possible for me to reapply or just reapply or leave it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated =)!

Normally you want to wait several months before you reapply for job. But since you have a good reason to reapply, you might want to consider it. If there is an "applicant's comments" box or something like that on the application, be sure to note that you applied before, but you have new opportunities to work available, and you'd like them to consider your application again.

Definatly reapply. Keep on putting your resume in until they accept you. You gotta be super persistant with this kind of thing. Drop your application/resume in once or twice a month and every now and then go in and ask to speak with a manager and ask about the status of your application. Don't let them forget about you. If you're fresh in their mind, they'll remember you next time it comes around to hiring again.
Good luck!
By the by, I know it's hard being aggressive with resumes and stuff, but it's the only way to get yourself out there.

Reapply. If possible, talk to a manager & explain your situation. They will be impressed by your efforts to work there.

You've really got nothing to lose by reapplying. What's the worst they can do? Reject you again, sure, but who cares.
Another option is to go in and speak with the manager. Or call, that works too. Wear nice clothes, and maturly ask (without whining) if there was any specific reason your application was rejected. Explain that there have been changes in your schedule (the now free weekends) and ask if you can re-apply. It's possible that the extra effort in the follow-through might land you the job.

Yes, of course, re-apply. As long as you are available and willing to work weekends and evening. That is exactly why they did not choose your ap. Those are the worst hours, and no one wants them, and the people who have been there the longest always get the best hours, but eventually they hope to move up to better hours The only way they can do that is when the company hires replacements for the weekend hours. That is the way it goes at your age and in that kind of business. It is a catch-22. You want money to be able to go out on weekends, but the majority of jobs available to young people are weekend jobs. It sucks.
When you re-apply just say that there has been a change in your schedule, and you are now available on weekends.
