I am looking for a change in career and my profile is not up to date as I was working heads down for few years now. I am trying to get some courses done online in Coursera related to data mining. Currently call volume is low for interviews. Any suggestions how to quickly ramp up and get more calls?
Read their job posting and then reuse their core words to describe what you have done. The algorithm will find a lot of common words beetween their posting and your profile and you will get a call for sure.
Answer LinkedIn spam. Recruiting companies can get you plenty of calls.

It's tough for intel SW engineers. Truth is working in the SW field for intel is a liability. Respond to Hacker News Who's Hiring postings - they run at the beginning of every month. I've had great luck with this but you gotta pass the phone screens first. Very often Hacker News Who's Hiring are posts written by Hiring Managers themselves so you bypass the HR Gatekeeper BS. I always fail the SWE phone screens so far though the hiring managers always respond to my inquiries positively, often follow up with an informal chitchat. I'm not dumb - I just don't practice hard enough. There is no replacement for rote daily practice unfortunately if you want to leave intel. Remember for most SW types getting into intel was not difficult so we've never really had to tough it out the way our friends at Google/Apple/Facebook and even NVIDIA had to - meanwhile our reward at intel is considerably lower pay than the "elites"
So getting interview calls is not your problem. You need to prepare for interviews. Everyone does that. What you do at job is very different from the problems you are asked to solve in interview. So you need to prepare for interviews. Your Intel background is not the issue here.
Agreed - I've gotten interest from Apple, Google, Facebook, Pure Storage, Microsoft, NVIDIA and Amazon as well as several startups. Hiring managers ARE interested in me. But sadly I never make it onsite because I fail phone interviews. If you have 10+ years of experience you are expected to absolutely nail the phone interview questions. If you make mistakes it's game over. I foolishly thought I did OK on my Google phone interview (about 8 months ago).
claim you work for Google. recruiters will buzz around you like flies on fresh poop
Ask former colleagues at those companies to refer you. And don't give them your resume. Just say that you are interested in the company and want to hear more. Give them email, phone number, and LinkedIn profile. Most recruiters treat referrals like gold. Since most recruiters find candidates on LinkedIn: -Put less on your LinkedIn profile. Actually, just delete all the damn info you have on your profile (projects, teams, etc). The less recruiters know about you off the bat, the more likely they'd be interested in jumping on the phone to see what you're actually doing. Doesn't mean that what you're doing isn't interesting so you hide it, but it does get recruiters more likely to run across your profile. -Don't give recruiters your resume until after you have a call with them. -Keep your titles on there though, especially if you have good career progression. -Change your settings to show "Open to New Opportunities". -Add buzz words to the skills section, even the most basic shit, like: Java or whatever language you use or may have use even from back in uni, data mining (even though you are just starting), distributed systems, micro services, things you would be interested in learning more about and have only barely worked on.
