Hey guys. I have been applying to Amex for the past 1 year. Tried applying on the portal, through referrals and even hr consultants reached me regarding the roles since I have a relevant profile. But not once have I been shortlisted or called for an interview. What could be the problem?
PS: I have gotten calls from every other company for the same profile but not amex. Can't be a problem with the profile. Seems something dicey which I'm not aware of.American Express

From my experience most recruiters don’t work with law clerks. I applied to firms and networked with partners to get my post clerkship position in NYC
For whatever reason, most clerks do not use recruiters. Just send your materials to the hiring manager.
Definitely not. Firms already pay clerkship bonuses. No reason they’d want to also pay a recruiter fee. Just reach out to firm recruiting contacts with a resume or, if there’s a particular practice group you’re interested in, perhaps with a partner in that group in the office you want to work in.
Transparency: most search agency fee agreements with big law specifically exclude the paying of fees for law school students and clerks.
Reach out to your law schools career services, network (find out where prior clerks have gone) and send your resume to firms that interest you.
