[All questions](https://jobicy.com/q.md) LN Luna N. asked the community # Should I reapply after an automatic rejection? [Job Search](https://jobicy.com/question-category/job-search.md) Asked 5 Aug 2026 Active 6 Aug 2026 [Write an answer](#answer-form-container) [Log in to vote](https://jobicy.com/enter4715.php.md) Question details I was rejected within minutes of applying, but the role was reposted the next day with slightly different wording. I meet the listed requirements and suspect my resume was screened out by keywords. Is reapplying with a revised resume worthwhile, or does it usually look pushy? Community responses ## 2 Answers Sort by Most likedNewest firstOldest first * SB Sophia Bennett [6 Aug 2026](https://jobicy.com/q/1785973966-should-i-reapply-after-an-automatic-rejection#answer-9557.md) Copy answer link Report answer Rejected within minutes suggests a screening rule, not necessarily a review. Reapply only if the repost has a different requisition or materially changed requirements; otherwise duplicate applications may be merged. Align your resume with the exact required terms you genuinely meet, then submit once through the new listing. * A Anonymous [6 Aug 2026](https://jobicy.com/q/1785973966-should-i-reapply-after-an-automatic-rejection#answer-9509.md) Copy answer link Report answer Reapply once if the repost is a new listing, but tailor your resume to the revised language rather than merely adding keywords. An immediate rejection often reflects an automated screen, not a hiring judgment. Submit the updated application through the reposted listing today. Join the discussion ## Want to answer?
