Should I re-apply for a job if I haven't heard back?

I applied for a job back in April and have not yet heard back from the company. The job is still listed as active on their website, and today I noticed they re-posted it again (and the original position is still listed). I don't want to appear desperate, and I also realize that this is a very large company that may have a long hiring process, but I really want this position! Should I re-submit my resume? Perhaps with a little editing and more focus on my qualifications? (side note, I do meet all of the qualifications for the position for experience and education).

    You haven't heard from them for one of two reasons: 1. they're still reviewing applications and you're still being considered, or 2. they've reviewed your application and decided you're not the best fit. Either way, re-applying won't help.

    If you do anything, apply to the new posting number with a re-done resume. It's possible a second position of the same title has opened up and a different hiring manager is reviewing those applications.
