I applied for the BCG Associate (experienced hire) position 1~2 weeks ago and got rejection today. My referral contact was on vacation and she couldn’t even get to submit my referral…
What can I do now? Would it still helpful to submit the referral? Can she reach out to HR to reconsider my application?
That's tough, very sorry to hear. Unfortunately, you will need to wait 12 months before reapplying as this counts as a rejection in the system. For future reference, if you have a referral your candidacy should START with that. You shouldn't apply separately without it and look to add it later.
