Is it okay to follow up with an VP after not progressing in a previous failed interview?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's definitely acceptable to follow up with the VP. Here are some key points to consider:

• Persistence is Key: Following up is crucial. As mentioned in the WSO threads, hustle and follow-up are essential. It's only desperate or annoying if your approach is wrong.
• Approach: Make sure your follow-up email is well-written and thoughtful. Acknowledge your previous interaction and express your continued interest in the team and the position.
• Timing: Wait a reasonable amount of time before following up. A week is often suggested, but since a few months have passed, now is a good time to reach out again.
• Confidence: Show confidence in your email. As highlighted in the WSO content, taking the initiative and having confidence is important. Don't let past failures deter you from trying again.

Here's a suggested approach for your email:

1. Acknowledge Past Interaction: Mention your previous correspondence and thank him for the opportunity he provided last time.
2. Express Continued Interest: Clearly state your interest in the new opening and why you believe you are a good fit.
3. Highlight Improvements: Briefly mention any new skills or experiences you have gained since your last interview that make you a stronger candidate.
4. Request Consideration: Politely ask if he could consider your application again or forward your resume to the relevant person.

Remember, persistence and a well-crafted follow-up can make a significant difference. Good luck!
