Hi, I have a solid background in Algorithms and Data Structures and have expertise in Data Science but working in Data engineering for the last 4 years. I have applied to multiple positions around Data roles in the past couple of years at Google but didn't get a single interview.

Can someone please guide where I am going wrong? I tried to format my resume around ATS but nothing really helped.

Thanks

P.S : you can be sarcastic in the comments I don't mind 🙃

1. Get a referral
2. ATS compliant is one thing, another is to ensure that all the keywords of the role are listed on your resume
3. Apply for a role LOWER than what you’re a perfect fit for (not ideal, but once you get a foot in the door, you may be able to progress quicker)
4. Data engineering is applicable to multiple orgs within, try in other orgs
5. You’re not only competing with external applicants, but with internal applicants as well (laid off and given XX days to find another role, people who don’t like their team/don’t get along with their manager etc)

See, I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong, it’s just that with the vast availability of applicants, Google can be choosy in who they want to move forward with.

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
