I have received an email after my interview with HCL from consultant stating I have selected for HCL technologies and asking for information like, when U was interviewed and whether I received any link for documents upload from HCL.
I replied to that email saying interview has been done and I am yet to receive any link from HCL for documents upload nor any call from HCL HR.
Can anybody suggest, whether the process wil take time or where should I contact for further process.HCL Technologies

AWS cloud application architect. Had an on-site interview with AWS a few days ago and just got an email saying they want to talk to me about next steps. The role is cloud application architect but I want to ask them about the senior cloud application architect role. I have all the relevant experience for that role and feel like I’d be a better fit for that senior role. How should I approach this conversation? Is this even possible? Amazon
l am currently a rising junior in
college interning this summer at
Amazon as a Business Analyst. I
would really like to break into
product management and believe in
my 5 weeks so far I have shown skills
to back that up. Would it be
acceptable to ask my manager to
recommend me for a product
management internship next
summer? My midpoint meeting with
my manager (and his manager) is
next Friday
Definitely using both of these.

If you just applied online without getting a referral or talking to a recruiter/sourcer from the company, a lot of tech roles can get 1000+ resumes. ML helps do a first sort for basic qualifications, and then recruiters still have to weed through the rest manually. It takes time and competition is high. 1/ Make sure you tailor your resume every time with words from the specific job description you are applying for, with basic and preferred qualifications. 2/ If you know anyone at the company who can give you a referral or reach out internally to the recruiter/hiring manager, have them do that to move your resume to the top of the list.
It never hurts to have your resume looked over by a fresh set of eyes, preferably by an HR professional. I’d check with your alma mater, they may offer that as a service for alumni.
Ultimately, there are several forces at work but there are two that definitely come to mind. First, more companies are using AI to sift through resumes today and there’s a lot of bias in those platforms (you can google all of the articles on that for a really depressing read). Second, the market is saturated with people with great experience looking for work due to COVID. Human connection is key to breaking through. Definitely leverage your network as much as you can. Warm introductions are usually better than cold, and reaching out to the hiring manager or recruiting team and asking them to point you in the right direction goes a long way.
Your resume can be "terrible" for reasons other than just the jobs listed, it needs to be written well also. Reviewers of your resume want to be able to see what you were doing. If you spent 5 years somewhere, did you show signs if taking on increased responsibility while there, what technology did you use, etc?
I’d at minimum include a well-written cover letter for each, that makes it super clear why you’re a good fit for the role. I’d potentially follow up with an email if you can find the hiring manager online.
Personally, I try to talk to people at the company before I apply so I can get a good idea of what they’re looking for and get my foot in the door that way. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, but there’s a ton of literature advising on how to do this online if you look it up.
Like what others wrote, could just be your resume not hitting the keywords to catch peoples attention, or could be your experience very siloed.
