I am a contractor/engineer at Facebook and applied to 3 SWE openings that interest me at Salesforce. I just got 3 email rejects for each of the positions. No contact. Just straight rejects after sending in applications. Does anyone know if this is typical for non referred candidates?
Find a referral
Not going to help much especially if your resume is already in the system
When in doubt, I spam my resume. It's probably not the best approach, but it's worked ok-ish.
How? By applying over and over?
Referrel
Agree, most recruiters are trash in salesforce. Even referrals, they reject right away without getting the resume to hiring managers
Thanks for the response. I guess that's good to know. I have a stellar resume and 9 yoe so this came as a shocker to me. Just checking to see if I needed to add any keywords to my resume or if there were better avenues than the online application.
I am pretty sure your resume never made it to hands of HM. Unfortunate things when recruiter act like HM
Why leave Facebook for Salesforce?
Underpaid and overworked by my firm - I am a contractor at FB (snr eng)
Underpaid at FB ?
