Can’t get new grad interviews, what’s going on?

Interning at Amazon right now doing deep learning/computer vision and worked at a well known media company this summer in New York. Still can’t seem to get any interviews that I haven’t been referred for. Rejected from Airbnb and FB with interviews, got rejected directly from companies like 2Sigma and HRT. Interview with Google coming up but that’s the only company that has actually responded - I can’t even get responses at IBM, Cisco or Uber (??). What could be the reason? Is Amazon not an instant interview anymore?

When was amazon instant interview

Amazon Zuck4Prez OP Oct 19, 2017

I would have thought a few years ago, it is a Big4

Is it not? Genuinely curious here

Could be your resume. Anything other than amazon? Cool projects?

Amazon Zuck4Prez OP Oct 19, 2017

The other company is a pretty big name - I do have 2 years of research projects listed too involving NLP and mobile with a coauthorship, my personal projects are trash though.

Not sure if they are really actively looking for new grad to fill. Thinking u might missed ur time?

Do you require visa sponsorship?

Amazon Zuck4Prez OP Oct 20, 2017

Nope American born (and have US citizen on my resume)

Ok then that sucks. I know quite a few people who were not considered because of the uncertainty with the visa situation.

Companies slowed down their new grad hiring. Too much of them. And too much crap too.

And on top of that, an intern that come from amazon i wouldn't interview him /her. It probably mean he/she wasn't good enough to get an offer.

That is basically me
