In Reply To: I was deemed unsuitable before I even got a poly appointment (it was probably that I was nervous and goofed my presentations during the 3-day). I called my HR contacts a couple of times and although they predictably didn't specify what disqualified me, would they be required to tell me not to reapply if I am somehow inherently unsuitable?
Message: Did the rejection letter actually state "unsuitable"? Because that word is mostly used after the office of security has rejected you, not the recruiters from the DO. These are two VERY different things. If the people interviewing you (meaning the committee that makes this decision) thought that you would not be an ideal candidate right now and did not extend a COE, then go improve your application (i.e. learn a language, do an internship) and reapply after a year. If for some reason the office of security rejected you (which is probably not the case with you because you never got to the poly), then I would suggest letting a lot of time pass if it has been something like drug use before or theft. I'm sure some people get rejected in the security stage because of sexual history, mental illness, drug or alcohol abuse, etc. who will never re reconsidered in the future. If you don't think you've been rejected for sleeing with sheep or something, then simply work on your resume and reapply.
