RE: Re-applying for a position, really...

[Ed Manley <EManley -at- Solutionsplus -dot- com>]

All facetiousness aside, I would contact the employer again. 

If you can't call this person, write a letter. I would not quit trying until
I got some form of response. 

It is standard fare for the recipient to acknowledge reciept of your resume
and state that you are being considered, if we want ya we'll call ya, blah
blah. I would still follow up even after that.

Remember that you are selling something here, and think about how you would
get in the door to sell this person a valuable but expensive widget. Act
accordingly.

Good luck,
Ed
