lapplied for few SA roles at AWS
after getting the SAA certificate and
some badges like the "WAF" and
"Advanced Migration". I also
optimized my resume recently trying
to match what AWS would look for,
but I did not get any 1st call or
Screening interview!
Ialso applied to some of the roles
using friend's referral. I have more
than 15 years in IT infrastructure
mainly in Storage systems (EMC,
Hitachi) What could be the problem?
Thanks.

I would keep trying. Eventually, there will have to be a role that they think you're a good fit for. I know someone who had to apply something like 20 times before finally getting an offer and then they got two.

Hmm that's really frustrating - I feel like a lot of those roles are more dependent on referrals than anything else. I would definitely keep applying - it doesn't usually happen on the first shot!
