I am trying to understand the mindset/approach of hiring managers in EU. What best should I do, as a job seeker to get a job in Amsterdam!

When I apply for jobs, i get a quick rejection. I ensure to apply wherein my profile matches with job description, necessary keywords are part of my resume/cv. I try and connect with hiring managers via LinkedIn, where I am guided to keep applying on careers website.

I am an Indian in Paris, with 8 years experience in Banking.

I feel the same, sometimes I get a quick rejection without any interview and it shouldn't be because my resume is 100% aligned with the job spec so I think it at least warrants an interview!

Keep trying, I don't think you are doing anything particularly wrong. I think it's truly a numbers game- remember some jobs won't be real jobs (i.e. they already have someone in mind for it and are just advertising because for statutory reasons you have to)

Thank you for your insights. I will continue applying.

Hi everyone.
Just reached final on-site round for a Senior Manager position in the logistics department. Role is for Amazon UK. Recruiter is asking me now for my expected compensation (base salary + total comp) via email. Any idea what to aim for?

I don’t know the level but was aiming £80k base, +15% bonus. If I don’t fall under their budget, would I automatically be removed from candidates?
Any tips are appreciated!
