Applying for job when already given details to employer?

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

It was about a month ago and a speculative application, just a brief letter and a CV. I also applied for another role there back in May. *sigh* they probably don't want me, but I've finished the 7-page application form now and just need to write a cover letter. That gives me something to do after lunch I suppose.

And just finished the cover letter, three and a half hours later! (OK, some of that was eating and BB time.)

Thank you for your encouragement for me to apply. It is a good job for me to have, if I get it, even if they weren't enthused by my applying speculatively. I know some schools will contact the speculators early and often not bother with those who do apply normally (went for a job that a friend was interviewed for and I wasn't - she was asked for interview the day the advert went up, so asked her for advice!), so was feeling a little disheartened they hadn't bothered.

Interestingly, it has no start date. So I don't know if this is a January start or a September start - or even a November start (very unusual). November would be fab, I am working with January, but September would mean me having to find other work in the meantime. And I've already called them once today so don't want to sound disorganised and be calling all the time! Ah well, I suppose I'll find out at interview. If I get one.
