I put up my resume for review on Blind and people here destroyed it. It was really bad according to most people who responded. I was worried for a while that I had already applied to so many jobs using that resume. but then Google and Amazon got back to me and then I ended up getting offers from both and also from some other smaller companies. I have great luck or people on Blind were talking out of their asses or maybe people at all these companies do now know how to review resumes. This goes to show that everything on Blind should be taken with a grain of salt. Generally people who are very vocal about their opinion are not very knowledgeable.
Cool story
If you haven't realized, there are some at faang but some unemployed on blind. Blind is double edged sword if you want advice hence choose wisely
so should I take you seriously or are you unemployed ? JK Also, will the S11 have the headphone jack? this is serious...
My last project was f900 foldable hence dont know much about s11..

You do realize that you can have a terrible resume and still get a job at Google or Amazon, yes? All of the things can be true. Seriously, your onsite had to be harder logic than this.
Then what's the point of having a good resume ?
Better chance in case someone actually reads it or cares about it. Not everyone focuses the same on them.
That goes for every stranger you meet in life... I'm surprised you took their words to heart
They had constructive advice, but none of it mattered.
For what type of position
Post summary: people on the internet are assholes. OP: 1995 has breaking news for you. Don’t trust people on the internet.
"everything on Blind should be taken with a grain of salt"... Are you taking everything seriously before coming to blind? TC or GTFO
So you're seriously saying that I should not take you seriously?
Yup, you got it
TC or GTFO

What do you think is wrong with a kid who got rejected by 9 colleges?
Lol. Ok, do you want a cookie? Fun fact: I used Rooftop Slushie and my resume was also ripped to shreds and I heeded the advice and I’m interviewing with FAANG and other good companies. Who knows. You probably have a solid education and good enough experience that they overlooked it. I also got some FAANG interest before the resume critique, but I wanted to pivot to a new kind of role so I was unsure of how to position myself and it worked perfectly for me. Congrats on your offers.
Thanks, I went to a good school but have been working for this no name company since graduation. I think I have an average resume. People were really harsh tho.
