BREAKING: Internal sources confirm another round of layoffs just hit emails at Tesla. For real.
I have applied to a lot of companies, from start ups to big tech on LinkedIn, Naukri, company portals but my applications are getting rejected almost everywhere. Is it normal, or am I doing something wrong? For folks who secured job offers or interviews recently, how did you apply? Yoe: 5.
Yoe?

You should tell us how to get interviews at Microsoft? I have applied to 20+ roles so far with referral but couldn't lend interview 😂😂
Got lucky during the hiring boom I guess. Nowadays Microsoft is barely hiring
No actually on careers page lots of jobs are posted daily. I guess msft is the only Bigtech hiring a lot nowadays.
What does your resume look like. Where have you worked? Almost everyone is hiring in India now a days- Google, stripe, apple, Deliveroo, zoom, Akamai, TikTok Singapore. Applied on careers page, was able to get interviews at above places.
What's your YOE?
Before Microsoft, I was at a no name start up (but good work). Currently in a legacy product areas, no fancy AI stuff in my CV.
Why leave ms?
Having ms tag on resume isn't attracting recruiters?
I had applied to Expedia via the job portal and got rejected. Are you folks actually hiring? Is it too competitive right now?
Recruiters are doing a bad job these days, they usually don't respond to candidates and reject it most of the times. Yes, Expedia is hiring but not sure if they will be able to match your TC.
Are you applying through referrals though?
No. Sent cold messages on LinkedIn to few current employees but didn't hear back sadly
