Applying through company websites is usually a black hole. For whatever team you’re applying for, try to find the team lead/manager/etc and hit them up on social media. Obviously be prepared to sell yourself but getting hold of a human usually fares much better than applying through whatever portal.
- magixx 5y agoUnfortunately I've had the same experience as the OP with regards to Netflix. How effective do you actually find reaching out to random people related to job postings? In my experience for the companies I've worked at, even if I'm referring a close friend/former colleague the only difference (visible to me at least) is that it they get put in a similar queue.
- KptMarchewa 5y agoI've found that referrals usually put people in position when someone will talk to them, unless they're very outlandish (eg. no experience at all).
