Whats the trick to getting an interview at IBM?

I'm try to land a job at IBM. First two application submissions failed. Thied one resulted in an assessment test (personality test i found out). I figured with my work history in big tech and the relevant areas of expertise i thought getting to a phone screen or in-person interview would have been a breeze. Can someone provide some pointers that help get me through the system? Thanks #ibm #interviews

Get a referral. All you need is an employees personal referral link. Then apply for the job through that.

Was going to comment the same thing. This is like going from Google to Yahoo.

Yes Panw to IBM, there are various personal reasons for this.

Network with the hiring leader, direct or even referral rarely works.

Referral link really isn’t much of a leg up.

It depends on whom. An VP is able to get his friends/families in.
