So I accidentally applied to jobs at Google and Facebook this weekend and didn’t realize you needed to be referred before and not after applying. I have a referrals going on today. Was curious if they won’t tag to my application now :/

Doesnt matter. They will prioritize your application review once referred.

Thanks so much! Sorry for the silly question - since you can only apply for a few jobs every few months - I want to do it right

Tell your referrer to ping the recruiter directly or you won't get noticed.

Got it thanks! For FB seems like it was a different portal so I applied again with their referral.

Jerk move too because your referrer won't get credit now.

They’re my close friends! I had no idea that you don’t get referred afterwards applying

Ah >.< Just did the same thing... and applied to 2 roles, realizing i have one more slot

Thank you! Similar question to ac1. Got referred literally ten min after I applied 😖. I applied through the referral link again. Do you think that’s a problem?

Also, curious how has the transition been for you? Are you working less / more / the same? Do you feel more energized by your role? Is your team planning on being remote post covid?

Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?

And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.
