  I don't work for Amazon, but from friends have said after 6 months you should be able to re-apply and your previous performance is not judged.

    Generally, that's right. We always take re-applicants. The way I look at how hiring is done (and it can certainly be improved in the industry as a whole) is that the system is tuned to reduce false positives (bad hires), but that means we have lots of false negatives (people who could have been great hires), so if you think you would be a great hire, don't feel bad about applying again. We all have bad days when interviewing, or bad evaluations.

  Amazonian here. I have seen many candidates re-apply for position. It's certainly allowed. Try to figure out where you fell short the first time, and study up or practice to improve it. Best of luck.
