    I went for a job in December that I really wanted. Didn't get it but the feed back was good (actually the best I've ever received) and the lady gave me a few interview pointers and said I should apply again in the future. I worked on my interview answers as a result and came up with a better approach. Haven't had any interviews since then.

    There are two new jobs that have just been advertised at the same company. Is it too soon to apply again? I'd have to take two days off to travel. I feel a bit kind of stand offish about applying so soon. I think there will be jobs advertised there in the future as part time positions seem to come up quite frequently.

    Should I apply again so soon or wait?

    Apply. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Worse that can happen is that you don't get an interview.

    Definitely apply again, I was interviewing for 3 positions within the one company not long ago.
