I have been trying to get into Salesforce for a while and seems like even with relevant experience and location and everything, it somehow just doesn’t work out. Applied to Microsoft and Amazon and least got interviews lined up in the past but Salesforce seems like a totally different company in terms of how profiles get picked up and you get interview calls. Any tips on how to get past this first seemingly hard wall of recruitment?

I can refer you if there is any relevant opening. You can dm me.

I would highly recommend going down the path of referral. Its great you lined up interviews with Microsoft, but with SalesForce, they have high regard for referrals.

Yes indeed and that’s what I’ve heard in the past that their recruitment is heavy on referrals.

I recently had an interview with HCL and cleared 2 rounds of technical interview. I waited for a week for HR call but no such call was received. I then contacted the POC who scheduled the interview (he is an HCL employee) and he said that I have been shortlisted and will receive HR call shortly. This was 1 week ago and I have still not received any call. Has anyone else faced the same issue? And if yes, should I even expect a call fro HR?

What should I do now ? Or I will get the offer Lett from HCL or not ?
