I've interviewed at Google for the past 10 years with no offers on 4 roles. The last time I didn't get an offer was 3.5 years ago. I'm blessed and frustrated.

I'm back on the job market but can't seem to get even a recruiter screen with a referral. I passed hiring assessment over the summer. Do candidates have a block after not passing hiring committee those other times? Or a rule to wait a period of time before re-applying? Advice or insights appreciated.

Which role/level are you applying for? Are you applying to the right level to be considered? Your profile says Senior Manager - but that may not apply directly to a L7 Sr EM as Google down levels aggressively.

Cool off period is usually about 9-12 months. You can always reapply after that and your past applications should have no bearing at that time.

I was L8 and downgraded to Sr Mgr, not downgrading again. I'm applying to Sr. Mgr and director level roles at Google now. Also, I should've cooled off some time ago considering the last role I went through full interviews were 3+ years ago.

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?
