What exactly happens when someone refers you internally with your resume? Does it help if it's a Sr. title refers you? Is there anything else that can be done to better my chances to get Product interview with Amazon?
They look at your resume for 2 sec instead of .5 sec
It doesn’t matter who refers you unless it’s someone who’s really high up on the chain then it might make a slight difference. On the flip side that might create higher expectations for the referred candidate. From what I understand referring simply helps your application skip the automated resume screen, nothing beyond that.
