Hi Blind, I've been trying to apply to Facebook, but after numerous attempts - the response is always the same. "We decided to proceed with another candidate". What's wrong? I've already had interviews with 2 FAANG companies, but Facebook doesn't give me a chance for even a phone interview. What could be the reason of such insta-rejections? YOE: 7 TC: Not FAANG :)
No other FAANG or good school on your resume. And bad location too.
Glad that other companies don't mind hiring candidates with no FAANG experience :)
Actually come to think of it, I know bootcamp grads who interviewed with F/G, so maybe it’s location or some other factor? And actually by FAANG I mean any ”big” company like even Microsoft, Square, Twitter etc.
They gave me technical support positions, tried 5 referrals. Yoe: 1, no faang companies, top 10 cs school
Instant rejections indicate a resume problem.
There are probably factors you are not aware of. Are you changing companies every 6 months or something like that?
No, just decided to try FAANG, and only Facebook treats me like that so far
No php skills?
Post resume here redacting your personal info and companies and maybe folks can help figure out
OP - why do you think Facebook owes you anything ? They couldn't care less that you got rejected from Amazon and Google and perhaps they know better or saw something disturbing on your FB account. You can reach out to their recruiters via LinkedIn and see if that makes a difference.
I don't think that they owe me something. As per FB account I thought about it, since I don't use social networks frequently and have only 10 friends there. My profile is almost empty.
How many yoe do you have?
