Applied with new email after rejection. Offered interciew again
I was rejected from an analyst program after an initial phone screen. I reapplied with a different email and was offered a phone screen again. Is it a bad idea to go through with this as a second chance?
It's a great idea! You should definitely do it. Chances are no one will ever connect the first and second versions of you, but even if someone does, feign total surprise. If the initial rejection came to you electronically, to your original email, you have a perfect excuse - you stopped using that account and didn't realize you were dinged.
Besides, the worst that can happen is they reject you. Which makes you no worse off than you are now.
