I want to reapply to a company that had offered me a position during the fall semester, and I originally accepted, but had to turn down once I got back to school (Where the branch is). I travelled the route I would travel everyday if I stayed with the company, and realized it was too dangerous and unrealistic for me ( a bus and a train, about an hour commute in not the best metropolitan location). I know I should have done the research before I had accepted the position, but seeing the route in person was completely different than online. I explained my reasons and was completely apologetic in an email when I told them I could do it anymore, however I never received a response.
I want to apply again to the same company, but a different position in a completely different state. The hiring manager in this branch is the one who originally connected me to the branch I was given a position at before. Do you think reapplying is a stupid idea?
