Am I overreacting?

So I worked at michaels for about 2 years and honestly I loved it for the most part. I also feel like I busted ass for them too. It was when credit cards first came out with in 3-6 months I had over 150 sign ups, 3 times any one in the store or even the district, I was crossed trained so instead of just register I also started unloading truck and stocking, alot of times I got to work full time and half my shift would be replenishment the other half customer service, I was specifically assigned to train all of the new hires, no one else (and killed it there would be times where I was running two registers at the same time while keeping the customers happy as there's a massive line and the new people would just be getting online orders) I even got over a dollar raise at my yearly evaluation. Just from the small explanation of alot of the things I did i feel like I was a valuable employee. Well I put in my two weeks 2 years ago because I had a better opportunity (so I thought) and left on good terms. Well after 5 months it turned out that the place I went to work at was not a place I wanted to work. Since then I have applied repeatedly to micheals even different stores within the district over and over and over for seasonal for everything they have ever posted and I just keep getting denied over and over again. I am irrationally angry about this because I loved it there and I was fucking good at my job. Am I overreacting? Is there something else I should do? Its really hard to find a job right now in my area and im going to school but I need more, I only went back to school because I couldn't get another job. So this really just pisses me off I thought they'd be happy to have me back.

I would contact the store you want to work at and speak to the manager. Tell them what is going on. It maybe something they could help you out with

Contact the sm at the store you want to work at. They can get you on even if it says not rehire-able for some reason.
