Booz Allen folks, I’ve applied to multiple positions I feel like I’m a good fit for and have all the skills for. Keep getting dinged. Any idea what else I can do?

Do you know anyone personally at the firm? That’s usually the way in. And I means a true connection that someone you’ve actually worked with that knows your capability first hand.

Ex-Booz 2 yrs ago, then the HR system was crap. Referral was basically required not because what PM1 above is saying for real referral sake, but for pushing you through the system. Also does help for real referral sake

So I had a first interview this past Friday at a company that I had previously interviewed with and made it to the final round last month.

The current role is more senior, and was one I was asked to apply for by the hiring manager, whom I also met with during the last set of interviews. I emailed the recruiter to f/u on Friday and still have not gotten a reply. Should I be concerned?
