Facebook way to get in

I have been rejected by facebook thrice in 3 years. Each time the rejection came in a few hours of uploading resume to facebook career site. Is there something like blacklist? How can I make my way in?

Get a referral instead

I should have mentioned, two out of those three times. I was sent a link by facebook to apply online after referral. Which resulted in rejection.

What?

SAP cottonmout Oct 2, 2019

CMU Cornell Berkeley Stanford etc are target schools. Usually companies like to hire from top companies

Well not from them but a state university. Fb hired a couple people from my batch already.

I graduated from Columbia CS, I have been rejected 5 times. Each time I applied via a referral. I have talked with different recruiters 2 times on phone. From what I can sense, they hire either new grad or someone with at least 3-5 years experience. There is no btw.

Fb has the worst recruiters I have encountered so far.

Nokia kickofff OP Oct 2, 2019

One of my friend joined FB because he found google's recruiters horrible

Why are you so obsessed with FB?

Nokia kickofff OP Oct 3, 2019

Long story short, I want to take advantage of one of the most underrated benefits of fortune 500 companies - access to very strong and influential global leaders and VP's

Why would anyone want to join FB? I would recommend using your talent and skills for something more useful for society.

Nokia kickofff OP Oct 3, 2019

What do you mean? Can't you do something useful for society while staying at FB?

The only thing FB cares about is keeping or increasing user engagement in its platform. What are the side effects in reality? Depression for most of the users. It looks like they are harming the society more than helping it. You could make a case for FB being a positive actor 10 years ago but that is all gone.

Try getting into a company that would serve as a good stepping stone. I don’t know about your credentials but, no offense, if you were working for a more attractive company then they might consider you?
