Can you be rehired if you didn’t give 2weeks notice?
Early 2012 I had to resign my job at JCPenney due to a family emergency that reqired me to leave the country unexpectedly so I had to resign and didn’t give a 2 weeks notice.
It was a seasonal position, started October 2011. My emergency/quitting was early January 2012. I was never late or missed any days and had an overall good experience.
I am now living in another city and applied for a job at another JCPenney but I was wondering if quitting without notice would affect them considering me for rehire?

You had a family emergency and had to leave and that takes priority over any job. Also, the fact that you had a great record won't hurt you at all. The 2 weeks that businesses ask for is as a courtesy. They can't demand that you give it. After all, when they're gonna fire someone, they don't say you're gonna be fired in 2 weeks. They just fire you on the spot. Well, it works the same for employees. You are NOt required to give any notice. They just request that you do. You should be fine if you apply to another JCPenney. You sound like an excellent employee with a great work ethic.
If you told them and they understood the reasoning back then, it may be noted in your file that you didn't just "no show, no call." Is that what happened for you? Or...did you just not show up anymore?
There is a huge difference and that difference could be the reason you do or do not get this job...
Not putting your 2-weeks in without a valid reason can regularly be used as a possible strike against rehire, but that seems like a pretty valid reason and even more so, JC Penny's is on the verge of bankruptcy, I think they will be happy to have anyone come back to them as they are taking a net loss of 300-400 million a year on interest alone with the 5B they are in debt.
