Question about Re Applying after a rejection
Not sure if this is the best place to ask this, but I'm looking for some insight. I recently interviewed for a system operator position at National Grid, but ended up getting rejected. Was pretty crushed about it, was a long process and to get rejected at the final step sucked. However, it's something I really envision myself doing and ideally I don't want to let that one rejection stop me. Is there anyone who had a similar experience or knows someone who got rejected the first time around and ended up re-applying and getting hired? There's obviously no harm in re-applying, but I just want to know if it's a waste of my time.
Some context - I have a recommendation from someone who currently works as an operator, as well as a family member and a friend who I can list as people I know who work for NG. I think the interview went alright, definitely didn't smoke it (at least I don't think I did). Was my first time applying for the position.
