I have applied for over 40 jobs with AMEX and have not received a callback for an opportunity.  with my skills and background I find this completely unusual. Is there anything I need to do to be considered at Amex?

Honestly I’ve been in the same predicament and have found that most often than none persistence is key. I think the right recuriter will reach out to you. Offcourse a referral helps and that’s where LinkedIn come handy

did you apply with a referral? if not, try with a referral. I also don't encourage to apply to too many roles because it doesn't look good, it looks desperate from HR perspective, especially if you applied in a short period of time for all those roles

You need a referral or a contact at AMEX, just applying in a black box

I don't think it matters how many roles you apply to... as long as they are similar in nature and level. Each dept has a different internal recruiter. I have actually been on two interviews lately from two diff recruiters and the second one didn't even know I applied to other roles or even interviewed! She also was suggesting to submit me to other roles she was working on.... so I don't think it matters how many you apply to. Maybe try uploading your resume and let the system tell you which ones are good potential matches. I think that is what would help flag your resume when they are searching to share with the hiring mgr. good luck! I am referring to AMEX as I am currently trying to make the move over

Yeah applying to too many positions at a company does not look good and just because you have a contact or referral does not mean you will get the job, interview, and/or advantage over other applicants.

Maybe someone at Amex could speak this their practices specifically, but I know lots of companies post roles that they never intend to fill. Sometimes, just to have a stack of ready candidates handy, sometimes to test the waters for the type of talent available in the area, etc. So it could be that they are real roles that you are not hearing back about.

A lot of companies are posting jobs with no intent to currently hire. It’s unfortunate that individuals with the exact background of positions listed or a similar background with great credentials are not getting interviews. It appears they would like to keep a selection of candidates in the event of turnover or if they want to let someone go. I think there should be a time limit on positions posted say 3 months and not have positions lying around for 8+ months.
