TLDR: is it worth reapplying to a job, and any advice for me?

So I saw a great job opportunity for me that was in the med spa field. I did a website application with a small video clip, and they seemed really excited to interview me. However when I got to the interview it was not with the person who screened applications, rather it was with a brand new hiring manager who had been there for one week and couldn’t answer a question about the job. Our interview lasted 5 minutes, where she just reasked me my availability (which was fully flexible) that I already wrote on my application she didn’t have in front of her? and sent me on my way.

I’m worried maybe I didn’t seem interested enough, but that was entirely because she told me she couldn’t answer any questions for me before she asked if I had any questions for her.

I guess I’m hung up on the job because I see they reposted it, and I don’t feel like I actually got a real interview that at least someone in the company wanted me to have.

That said, I’m wondering if it’s worth reaching back out about? Is there anything I can say politely that shows my interest and that I’d like a fair shot at a real interview. I don’t know how to do that without seeming like I’m throwing her under the bus, however I’m not sure if others in the company even know I didn’t really get interviewed.

Thanks in advance for any advice, especially if you are in the hiring field!
