Made a similar comment above, but that was entirely true for myself. I have worked on amazing things as we all have in life, petabyte databases, and just the most incredible setups.
But when it comes to an interview, I cannot get a job several levels below my own (without referrals).
With referrals, I am offered the moon and the stars, complete pick out of a tremendous number of amazing jobs.
But any random interview, and I totally bomb it. I wonder how many out there are like that as well. It feels rather strange from my perspective, but maybe it's fairly normal?
- maverick_iceman 10y agoYou cannot get a job at a top company without referral/recruiter looking you up. Any such company is totally swamped by the number of resumes submitted and the chance of getting an interview is practically zero.
- whenwillitstop 10y agoThis is not even close to being true. People get hired into top companies all the time.
