I think we have a common misunderstanding about tech companies' internal referral, that is equal to taking the offer directly! It's not. To be honest, it's just that the resume is easier for HR to see, it may eliminate the written test, or go straight to the interview.
As it becomes more difficult to find jobs in North America, more and more companies are looking for talent through internal referral, and these companies will also work with a fixed search firm to present their talent needs.
There is such a legend in Meta: If you want to enter Meta, you can go inside and push, and sea throwing is fruitless. The facts show that this is true. Last December, a large wave of people received an HR reachout. Most of them are internal referrals! However, it is said that from the beginning of this year, Meta's internal promotion model has changed. From January 6, the post below the internal promotion of E6 will no longer have the internal promotion bonus, which means that the company and the market have no shortage of E3-E5 talents.
But internal recommendation is more of a two-way interactive process, referees just introduce you to the relevant position, help you understand the job information & requirements, company culture, interview process, and other information. The other or rely on our own efforts, really can let you get the Offer, or their own job search hard work.
But how do you find effective inextrapolation? Here is still can tell you, first of all, is to be good at the use of human resources around. Your tutors, seniors, etc., may become your inner pushers, and this type of person knows the truth, is sure to be faster and more willing to help you.
Second, learn to use social platforms, especially for international students with a relatively small network. You can try LinkedIn, join some interest groups, or if you want to apply for a certain company, directly with HR or CEO Coffee Chat.
This is just one way to improve your chances of receiving an offer, but it's not the only way! If you want to receive an offer, you still need to improve your ability.
