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. |

Masters degree? Government internships? Wow, I guess it's pretty impossible to sit the fence on this.
I work in finance. It was a hard position to secure so I feel awkward parting with it to dive into debt for a political science masters which may or may not increase my standing in the NCS's eyes. I heard CST was looking to lure more business types in. I'm still blindly clinging to that presumption in hopes of shaving off a bit of the college debt before taking on a government salary.
If you don't mind, can I ask how you came upon and sorted through the internship opportunities? We may all be coming in with different strengths and career tracks but demystifying the steps is at the heart of this board. I'll provide an email if you don't want to compromise yourself: hackingthevault at hotmail
