Hello there! I have applied to so many jobs at Tesla (like 10 no kidding), and I don’t even get to the phone screaning part… I have a Master and a lot of certificates, any company would be lucky to have me, is there a secret I don’t know to get an interview at Tesla? 😁

How often are you applying? I can’t speak to Tesla specifically, but some companies will only review 1-2 applications from the same person per year. Anything past that goes straight to the “no” pile.

Wow did not know that, I have applied several times within the same years. Thanks for the tip!!

Have you tried updating your resume? Incorporating key terms from the job description into your resume? Pretty sure nowadays, when folks applies, their resume goes through a software. If there are no matches/similarities, they are not gonna move on to the next steps.

I am starting to do that to see if I get any luck 🙏🏼

Applying? Don’t. Network first.

With what LinkedIn 😂

Get someone to look over your resume. Most times the resume can’t get past the ATS system where an automatic rejection happens. Formatting and key words are essential.

Thanks!!

I would recommend connecting with someone on here or LinkedIn that would give you an internal reference. That should at least get your resume looked at by a human.

Best of luck!

In my very similar experience with this, it is no longer about what you know or how well you can do the job but more about who you know and how well you can answer the "tell me about a time" questions if you do make it to an interview. I have interviewed for at least 5 different positions at my current job and am very qualified for all of them but still no luck because I don't brown nose and I also am too honest with the questions. Nowadays its all about knowing how to answer the interview questions, our work ethics and experience do not seem to matter at all. Just my experiences and opinion.

Hi folks, I've been offered for the role of devsecops engineer at cisco. I have put my resignation last day is on October and my current company is asking if i could consult for them on hourly basis if possible. I thought of asking my cisco HR but thought I could ask here. Is there any constraints which stops us from consulting? Will it conflict with the cisco contractual policies? Any leads would be appreciated.
