Should I continue to email this professor or switch to another one?

[cartwheel galaxy]

So I emailed this professor in November and he asked for my resume and after reviewing it, he briefly replied and said "Thanks. Please apply to our department this winter and mention my name explicitly in your statement of interest." I was very excited because this program is the program that I'm interested most and I hope to work with him as well.

When I finished applying and emailed him again this January, he didn't get back to me. So I sent an email again 6 days ago and he hasn't replied either. Considering my background and his research, there is a possibility that I don't have enough skills he needs, so I'm not very confident that he's very interested in recruiting me. I know that the department has already done a few interviews and I haven't been contacted. Should I switch to email another professor at this point? Honestly I don't know if it makes a difference to email any new professor at this point...

I wouldn't email anyone new at this point. Wait to hear from the department about your application status.
