"unsuitable" But Not Verbatim |

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. |

No strong drug or sex history or hazing rituals involving animals here (I was a relatively boring college kid).
I guess it was simply that I was pretty nervous during my 3-day. I can attribute a large part of that to that fact I had just read a book critical of the agency at the time and it turned out my interviewer was one of the characters being poked fun at in the book. The situation was positively surreal.
My rejection letter had a date on it at which it told me to reapply, albeit scribbled into a black space on the letter in pen. I didn't follow the date so I'm worried I messed up.
You say letting "a lot of time" pass would help. What qualifies as alot of time?
