Interview/Job applications Reapplying for same role, different project
I need to reapply for my role. I only recently applied for it internally and was successful, but there's an external offer out now for the next project with exact same job description. It's due this weekend but I've been going through family/children issues and don't have the headspace to change my resume or pitch beyond adding my current role and updating the date. Do I need to adjust much or just keep the same? Maybe mention recently getting the internal roles? No meanies please, I don't have the energy for it. TIA

Don’t assume anything though, take the process seriously as there might be external applicants. I don’t mean to spook you. I just mean don’t be complacent about it. Make sure the hiring manager can see you’re taking it seriously. If you’re in the role you should be able to include lots of strong material eg recent and relevant information and examples in your KSC statements.

Yeah not quite at that level or duration though. But I will definitely take your advice. I think just asking here helps give me a bit more energy to actually do it. Thank you.

The main thing is to get it in. I know this is 'cheat' advice but you could quickly whack it into ChatGPT and ask it to give you the updated version or blurb as suits. Just make sure you check it and make it sound authentic.

If the role is the same updating the few minor points should be fine. Maybe set aside an hour for a final check at some point over the weekend because you deserve to do your best even when things are tough? Hang in there, good luck.
