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? |

I'm not sure. For drugs, it needs to be one year, but for other things, it's up to the adjudicator. There is no formula. But in your case, just reapply when they say you are allowed to. You weren't rejected based on security issues, so you just need to improve whatever you are lacking. If you apply with the exact same resume, I'm not sure they will call you. You should state in your essay that you applied once, were rejected, and then went and did xyz in an attempt to improve your chances because this is a job you really want. Afterall, that strategy can't hurt. My rejection was based on drugs and not qualifications, but in between my two applications, I did three internships overseas (two with govt, one with a bank), I got a masters degree from an Ivy, and I studied a CNL.
