        Because you are only rerunning the "input request", you aren't 
rerunning all the code with it.

import time

while 1:
        ans = raw_input("Want to hire...")

        if ans[0] == "n" or ans[0] == "N":
                print "Please reconsider..."
        elif ans[0] == "y" or ans[0] == "Y":
                print "Great, email <someone>..."
                print "he is at ...."
                time.sleep(300)
                print "Did you email yet?"
                break
        else:
                print "invalid response, try again"
