Apply for Civil Service job twice using different e-mail?

[Dragonsbe]

I recently applied for a civil service job but have realised my application was a bit shit, so I would like to add a better justification. They say you cannot amend or withdraw and reapply...so is there anything to stop me logging in with a different e-mail address to apply a second time? Albeit the educational and work experience will be the same so I hope this won't disqualify me?

Really bad idea and would almost certainly disqualify you. Just amend the existing application.

She's just said that you can't amend it!

Could you email them and say that you submitted the application too soon and could they withdraw it so that you can resubmit?

That would come across as extremely odd.

You can only get in touch with them and ask - approach the HR contact rather than the recruiting manager.

I definitely would not do that. It will look suspicious.

I think as others have said, an email would be the best thing.

Dont do it, you could end yup barred from applying for future roles

Thank you all. I did email them on Saturday but as yet no response. I appreciate all the advice.

Isn't it linked to your NI number anyway?
