For non-tech roles, is getting your resume pst screening really the hardest part? I’m being led to believe that once they pass along my resume to the hiring manager, they’re unlikely not to put you into loop, and unless you bomb the loop by not preparing, you have a very high likelihood of an offer. Is that really true? Is getting your resume past the auto-rejection the biggest hurdle for non-tech applicants?

Uh no. Every stage is hard. Every stage, every company.

Like all things in life, you’re better off over preparing vs under preparing.

For reference, I’ve been referred to roles in Amazon by the hiring manager themselves or a friend of the hiring manager. My resume gets viewed by the hiring manager, and I’ll still need to pass a loop of earning the votes of the interview panel.

Agree with AD1. Loop is still very much hard work regardless of who referred you or how great your CV is in my experience.

I need more insight. I just got done with my on-site interview (flew 1,000 miles) they paid for everything. I had interviews with the director, CNO, and fellow managers. The CNO was fourth coming with all information and said they would develop me to reach my career goals. The managers were telling me the good school districts etc. and we’re agreeing with my answers during the interview. I’m probably going to end up over analyzing everything until I hear back. Any thoughts?
