I have applied to maybe 100 Google roles over the past 5 years. I have customized resumes, referrals, and have been qualified for all of the roles. I have not been able to get a phone screening. Is this normal or am I doing something seriously wrong?

Without a strong referral it’s slim chances. Even then it’s still slim chances.

As someone who used to work for ibm and now works for Google, I would say keep trying. Unfortunately part of it is luck and the recruiter noticing you out of the pile of applicants they get. Normally, they don’t hire people who meet just the minimum qualifications, at least from what I’ve seen but of course there are exceptions. Took me roughly 50 applications and then I met a recruiter who gave me a phone screen. Goodluck

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
Thanks in advance!
