The way of getting a job in the past doesn’t work anymore, you can be passive and do what everyone else does. The only way to win is to be a little aggressive and high agency. Anything less than that and you will be left behind. Network and follow up aggressively but politely. Find the hiring manager when possible and if you can’t find the hiring manager, the to find the aligned recruiter. Email them a highly tailored CV for the role and a concise email stating your qualifications. Stand out

I agree with everything you said except for tailoring your résumé for the role. I find that to be a waste of time. It's better to apply to more jobs and spend that time following up rather than painstakingly updating your résumé for every single job.

Hi, I did interview with amazon.

Round 1: HR round. cleared.

Round 2: Hiring manager round. Went well.

After 2 weeks they said Role no longer available. It was L5 supply chain role. This happened in April. Can I apply again in Amazon? I joined a company 3 months ago, does it look bad in CV to leave again in 3 months? I hv a 6 month gap in career in 2019 due to lay off (covid). total exp 9 yrs. SCM exp 6 yrs.

A warning, i have been phished through the premise of a job interview.thats definitely a new low from scammers but verify interviews they plucked my info from indeed and through that got my info, when I got suspicious (after it was too late) I called the "hiring company" (was a real company) and they said i wasn't the only one getting duped.
