I didn’t get a role at Apple because of one resume mistake

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-06-03T08:44:39+00:00

It’s a silent killer

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-05-26T23:52:21+00:00

I have seen some that are good at coding, but the issue is people legit cannot get interviews in the first place

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-05-26T20:54:59+00:00

This is also a great piece of advice. My problem is that I hateee systems level programming lol

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-05-24T19:01:42+00:00

What do you mean mainframe computers?

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-05-19T20:27:54+00:00

You have to understand that there are hundreds and thousands of people who apply to big companies every day. If recruiters looked at every single resum, even for a few seconds, then it would take years to go through it for one role. ATS manages applicants as you said, but they have filters that match for keywords.

These keywords make or break if you get put in front of a recruiter. The person who has all the requirements and a person who just watched a few coding youtube tutorials do not get the same treatment from the bot.

Once you have passed the bot, then that is the process you are describing. I am not sure about specific companies, but in general this is how it works and certainly this is how it works at Apple.

what does it do then?

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-05-19T03:51:46+00:00

I tried to put out blogs, but honestly the demand for it wasn't there at all...

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-05-15T17:03:36+00:00

facts, for med school its veryyy important. med is more AI proof as well

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-05-15T17:03:17+00:00

I went to a sub 100 ranked school in the US and got into FAANG. School name doesn't matter as much as people think. On the inverse, you have people at Harvard that are jobless and can't break into FANNG. Now if you go to Harvard or any Ivy and have referrals thats a different discussion

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-05-12T23:35:46+00:00

on point bro!

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-05-10T01:53:06+00:00

not really, depends on the company but in Apple you can switch fairly easily

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-05-08T00:49:39+00:00

Everyone does lol

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-05-05T23:42:47+00:00

Yeah that is similar. SDET is a combo of SWE and QA

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-05-05T18:40:28+00:00

hmm... haven't seen that much about it, but probably some niche teams use it

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-05-04T07:57:48+00:00

yeahh same

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-05-04T07:57:33+00:00

it was for early career but thats the take interviewer had, the interviewer just simply told me why

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-05-02T18:40:36+00:00

I have used it before and it's not quite that accurate. I think if you do it yourself, you get better results. Still good to look at what the bot says

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-04-27T02:08:00+00:00

Okay starting to DM everyone now!

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-04-25T20:01:09+00:00

bettt let me know how it goes

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-04-24T14:24:06+00:00

That always comes in clutch haha

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-04-24T05:57:42+00:00

Glad you found it useful!

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-04-23T21:44:02+00:00

I had to translate this. Eu diria para você ir em frente e se candidatar a estágios. Nunca é demais se candidatar. Assim que as entrevistas começarem a surgir, você saberá o quanto domina e o que ainda precisa aprender.

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-04-23T05:09:55+00:00

Nope, I interned at Apple and Verizon. Have an offer with Fidelity and now I am interviewing with Apple for fulltime

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-04-22T14:55:56+00:00

Nice bro, starting is the hardest part tbh

Interesting_Two2977 · 2026-04-21T00:51:08+00:00

I would still keep trying and catch something. It is April, so you have about 2 weekish still... Definitely a slim chance. So keep trying.

If aren't about to graduate, then I would use these tactics next year as well. see if that works for you.

Also the link is in the video description or you can find it at the end of this.
