Submit your CV via a recruiter who has connection with the hiring manager.

They get over 100 applications for 1 posting. You really need a referral.

I just submitted my CV through the website, no referral, no recruiter and was given an interview and ultimately hired.

I dont know that there are any secrets...

Guys, I interviewed at amex gurgaon 10days ago and was told by VP that I will hear from HR very soon. But when I checked on HR yesterday, she said interviews are still in progress and it will take a week more to finalize.
I want to know do they take this long to close a position? This opening was posted on 30th Sep.. It's already been 1.5 months. This is when they said the position was urgent!! 🙄
