I got a call from the Google recruiter about my L7 em interview Google She said I did overwhelmingly good on all interviews except one had mixed feedback on a system design. No surprise because it was not a good interview. The recruiter said i had a choice to go to hiring committee, give referrals they could call about my system design or take another system design interview. I’m not confident about the system design because of the bad experience I had with the previous interviewer. What should I do?

3 months is brutal, esp after 30+ years in the field. The bots are usually the worst part bc they dont care about performance, just matching words and format.
I'd tighten the resume for each posting and make sure the top third screams design engineer + AV integrator work in the exact language they use. If your resume has any tables, text boxes, weird headers, or a super dense layout, I’d strip that out first, those things get chewed up by ATS all the time. I ran a couple versions through ResumeJudge before and it caught a few dumb formatting issues I never wouldve noticed.
Also worth keeping 2 versions, one super clean ATS copy and one nicer human copy. I did that after getting ghosted on a bunch of roles and it helped a lot more than constantly rewriting from scratch.
What kind of systems are you seeing most of the rejections through, Workday, Taleo, Greenhouse, something else?
