In Dec last year I was employed to work full time on a 3mth contract. My contract expired early March & despite repeatedly asking my supervisor & the person who hired me what is happening with my position I haven't been able to get a straight answer. Until today - when my supervisor gave me a "heads up" that my position is about to be advertised, and not for internal applicants only. Argh!! Does anyone have experience with having to reapply for a job? Can and should I mention in my application that I've been working for the organisation for 6 mths? Are HR required to give me X amount of notice if I'm unsuccessful?
I was made redundant August last year, really don't want to be looking for work again so soon

Any advice appreciated
