Recently applied for a SWE and FDSE Internship at Palantir, didn't even get an interview with this CV. PS: This CV got me interviews tor internships at Google, Snap and Twitter. (They went well) Also, I applied for the London office. How can I improve? TC: 5k monthly (intern)
I hear London is a pretty competitive market which is why tech comp is quite a bit lower, you should maybe try the US
You know looking at your resume it’s pretty hard to put a finger on what you’re good at. And I would recommend to move education in the end. Put education in the beginning only if that’s like Oxford cum laude.
Thanks for your suggestion! Is that reason enough to not get an interview?
Yes, recruiters spend maybe 4 sec reviewing your CV and looking a match with JD, you shouldn’t make their job harder. Also Palantir might use robot to preselect resumes, so you should have all key words in your resume to fit in the mold.
Did you really put "CTO" of what basically looks like a side project?
Your resume is decent, but that’s just a piece of the puzzle. For example, I submitted my resume to Microsoft careers web site and never heard anything. While I constantly hear recruiters from google, Facebook, amazon, apple, etc on LinkedIn asking to interview me. Who sees your resume is more important.
Thanks, this makes sense. It's a bad feeling even after trying hard, not even getting an interview due to some 'uncertain' reasons haha. But, that's just a part of the process 👀
Behavioral Interview: Describe how you handle when you failed 😭
I wonder why in education section HSC is mentioned. Does not add much value, when you have added higher degree B. Sc.
Good point, will remove that
Cross register to Oxford and get summer school or something.
Don’t worry about Palantir. Imo they look bad on a resume.
Why are you interested in interning/working at palantir? Anything draws you to it specifically?
Just applied there for the fun of it, but looking at how they didn't even bother giving an interview really intrigued me, thought maybe Palantir is laughably selective
Understood. It's intriguing I agree. 😄 I've never understood the significance of "forward deployed" se positions. Do u know anything about it?
My resume sucks compared to yours except I have way more of a non traditional path (which I guess the recruiter noticed) and got internship interview.. have to do the hackerrank in next 5 days. Google passed over my resume even with referral. Haven’t heard back from Twitter yet either. It’s all a crap shoot. I never expected to hear back from Palantir, but never got expected to get rejected from flexport or hubspot during resume screen 😂 It’s all crapshoot. I wouldn’t lose sleep over it. I know it is a crappy feeling tho
Yeah, man. Good luck! Where are you interviewing now?
Right now Quora, Palantir, Humu, Amazon, Robinhood Waiting to hear back from Facebook/Twitter Waiting for LinkedIn/Airbnb apps to open up Good luck to you too bro, I’m sure you’re gonna get something great.
There is no guarantee of getting a call at every top company. You simply can't optimize for every job. Intern at Google, and may be you'll get a full time offer at Palatir. I don't see anything particularly standing out in your resume either. I just sent you a request to connect with you on LinkedIn 😂
And they were right in rejecting you.
Explain him why.
I know they're right 🤦 But how, that's the question
