Just got an email that I was disqualified, but they didn’t state a reason. Does this happen often? Also the department said I could reapply again in a year, but if I was disqualified from something in my background wouldn’t I just get disqualified again? Or is it that they made their choices of candidates and I just didn’t meet their criteria at the moment? Any ideas? I was 100% honest on my background and my record is as clean as a whistle. And from my last conversation with my background investigator, there didn’t seem to be any discrepancies on any of the information I shared. The final decision came from the Command Staff.

Did it actually say “Disqualified” or did it say “not selected” or something?
It seems to me that they just found better fitting/more qualified candidates this time around. Clearly they didn’t find anything super bad since they told you to reapply again in a year.
Tbh, it’s just another way of saying they found their people of hire at the moment that are more qualified than you. I’m in the same situation
Or they found people they wanted to hire who may not have been more qualified, but were related to someone, went to the same church, or were of a certain or uncertain gender…
