Looks impossible to get receuiter calls

Aug 17, 2020 12 Comments

As title says it seems to be impossible for me to get calls from recruiter of FAANG (and alike companies).

Netflix, Snap, Spotify, Twitter, Uber, etc

It’s not even post-covid period that I’m talking about. I have been applying for them about a year now. I’m very well ready for LC questions.

Can you guys out there tell me what it might be?

My resume is decent and well structured. I have done lots of research on that.

Much frustrated and pissed off :),
Thanks

    Smaller "FANGs" like Netflix, Snap, Spotify, Twitter, Uber often hire for a specific team and is looking for a specific skill set. Maybe you don't really have a in-demand skill set or haven't done enough project with those skill sets to catch the recruiter's attention? It'll help a lot to stand out if you have a more niche skill set like distributed system/security.

    Try reaching out to recruiters on LinkedIn. Attach your resume to your message.

    Maybe? include your phone number and best time to contact you. That way, they can just call without having to do a back and forth.

    Send them your resume and tell them you’re interviewing and doing on-sites, but would love to give google a shot.

    The on-site at other companies part validates your worth as a candidate.

    • On LinkedIn would you send them message before applying or “hey I applied to <<Job Link>> will you consider it “?

      Yeah I would do it before applying. Sometimes they can fast track you to a phone screen.

      In your message I would include something about an opportunity to work with the best engineers and also to mentor other junior engineers. Recruiters love that ❤️
