I had applied for the position of support/non-consulting role but got rejected at the screening round. I got someone working in that exact division working/office location ready to refer me for the role. Can I apply or will I be likely rejected again? My rejection mails did not have any cooldown period stated.
Can I reapply for non-consulting/support role within 3 months?
Hi,
Any chance you received - either via e-mail or phone call - a feedback for your rejection?
For instance, if I would have received a feedback like "You are not enough structured in the cases resolution", I believe they would expect me to prepare more than 3 months before applying. I believe the answer could be in your feedback.
If you didn't receive any, I would directly write to the person who sent you the e-mail/person you talked to during the selection process and directly ask to them if you could re-apply (and maybe a feedback to do better next time) or there is a cool-down period. I would go with "I truly care about this role, I believe is the right one for me, ..." and so on, just to let them know you are really committed.
Hi,
It's hard to help you without knowing the particular company / role. But the bigger question is - why do you need non-consulting / support role if the end goal is consulting?

Clarifying question that's important for the answer: Did you get rejected in the screening or after a series of interviews?
I think you can guess what my answer is based on your response to the above!
It is worth a shot if you got rejected prior to being interviewed. However keep in mind that if they rejected you at screening there must have been a few major issues with the application to begin with (e.g., not coming from a target school or low GPA)
