Rejection and reapplying
A cooldown period is not a universal one-year ban — it varies by company and by how far you got, one large company has none at all, and there are three documented routes back in sooner. This lesson covers what a rejection actually tells you, how long each door stays shut, why a strategic withdrawal beats a bad loop, and what to do with the months in between.
What you'll be able to do
- Interpret a rejection accurately rather than as a verdict on your ability
- Look up the real cooldown for a company and stage rather than assuming a year
- Navigate the applicant-tracking flag through the three documented routes
- Build the months between attempts into something that changes the outcome
