What are the chances of being re-hired at a job?

I worked in shoe store as a part-time job for 9 months. I quit two weeks ago because I was working a different job for the summer, and found the two overwhelming. There was also a problem with a lack of manager in the store. Just today, I talked to a co-worker that I have kept in touch with and found out that there is a new manager and things are going really well there, but they are still in need of employees. I regret my decision to quit, and think that I could possibly want to go back. Do companies often re-hire employees who have quit but changed their minds?

If you left on good terms and the company does not have a policy against rehiring previous employees, then you may have a good chance of being rehired, given that they are in need of employees with your skills and experience.
Reply:As long as you left the job on good terms with everyone, I think it's worth a shot to try and get rehired. Just approach the new manager in a very low-key way and tell him you'd very much like to work at the store again.
Reply:It never hurts to ask. What's the worst they can say? Some companies have policies that don't allow them to re-hire, but I worked for a company that r-hired people who had left on good terms all the time. Give it a shot! Go to the store and ask for the manager. Tell them that you left the company two weeks ago due to conflicting work schedules with your other job, but now that job has ended and you'd like to come back. DO NOT bash the former manager or anything about the store.
Reply:It depends, did you quit on the spot or did you give 2 week notice? If you gave notice, then you should be eligible for re-hire. Why not have the co-worker mention it to the new manager (who will then get your side of the story first, who knows what's in your personnel file) and grease the skids for you - most jobs are found through networking anyways.
Reply:I'd say you have a good chance..
Reply:It won't hurt to apply and see. If you left on good terms, and gave a two weeks notice, then I'd say your chances are good.
