Applying again with new email
I recently applied for a FT position in IBD (solid boutique). I know quite a few people in the firm and wrote a strong app. Unfortunately I didn't pass one of the online tests (due to poor testing conditions but i thought i could do it anyway) and so all this effort/connections went to waste. Should i reapply again under a new email or will this result in an auto rejection? Alternatively, I could apply again under another email and highlight that I applied previously so it doesn't seem like I'm trying to trick HR. There doesn't seem to be any policy on reapplications on their website and in theory they haven't even read my application. Thoughts?

Withdrew Application - create a different account? (Originally Posted: 07/17/2017)
Hello,
I submitted an application to GS for an analyst position and withdrew when I realized that there was some information I omitted that I'd now like to include. However, I'm having trouble reopening that application to include that relevant information. Am I kind of screwed or is there a way around this? What would happen if I simply created a new account and submitted another application (it wouldn't be double counting, since my first app is withdrawn)
Most firms usually place a warning after you initially click withdraw that often states you won't be allowed to re-apply to that division at all. Not sure if GS has that rule but JPM/MS did
Would they "catch" it if I made a new account and resubmitted? It's not like I have two applications outstanding, since the first one was withdrawn.
Never had problems with JPM/MS withdrawals when I was recruiting (had 2-3 accounts at each) but I know that Goldman (at least 3 years ago) took the "withdrawals" pretty seriously. I remember a friend telling me that when you "withdraw" the system automatically flags the account and its pretty useless at that point. So definitely create a new account and apply that way. At least if you don't get this job you'll be able to get something else. Hope it helps. Good luck.
Mystery HR database (Originally Posted: 12/08/2017)
Since I got rejected several times by some banks do you guys think it is better to set up a new "fresh" account with a different e-mail for next recruiting year? As long as I don't apply with both at the same recruiting season it should not flag as double account or? This way banks wouldn't see that I was already rejected before or is this stored in their database in another way? How does their system work? What does HR "see" if they receive my application? Anyone here with real insights/experiences? Maybe from someone who works in HR?
Shouldn’t matter. Got interviews for FT for many firms that rejected my SA applications.
