Applying for a job question.

[TemperanceBrennan]

A little bit of back story, I applied for a job a couple of months ago. When they were interviewing me they mentioned another position that was going to be added in the future and that I might be qualified for it. They interviewed me thinking that I could be good for either position. I didn't get the position that I originally applied for. 

Today, I saw that the future position they were talking about has been posted. I am planning on submitting my resume. Once my resume is submitted, should I contact the person who originally interviewed me, to mention that I have officially applied for the new position? If I should, how should I do that? Is an email okay?

I would send an email if you think the first interview went well and you had good rapport with the original interviewer.

Would it be the same people interviewing for the new position? I think I would just wait.

I felt like the original interview went well. I just think I wasn't exactly what they were looking for in the original position. I was interviewed by five people. I'm not sure how many of them would be involved in interviews for this new position.

My H thinks I should contact them to try to remind them of me.

I would absolutely send an email to the original interviewer.

Dear Person,
This is TemperanceBrennan. I interviewed for XXX position this past fall, and during our meeting you had encouraged me to apply for YYY when it was added to your company. I am writing to let you know that I have applied for YYY position and I am looking forward to speaking with you again.
Sincerely,
TB
