Advice - Applying for a job

How should I apply for this job?


A little background.

At my previous job we had to either move to the new office locaton or find a new job, I picked option 2. I've been at my current job for about 6 months. I had to move to a part of the country that I didn't think I would ever live and fortunately it's been a good place to live. I like my current employer and co-workers but I've never stopped looking to move to my ideal location.

Recently a position posted at my ideal location. FYI, this location doesn't have a lot of actuarial positions available. It is with a company that I've previously interviewed with but didn't get the job due to inexperience for that job.

I've found that networking into the job always gets me further. I would go with whichever person inside will give me the best support. If they all know and (dis?)like me about equally, then I would contact whoever is likely to have the most influence on the hire.

If you don't have any friends at the company, the previous hiring manager would probably be the one who would know you the best.
