Reply to comment by Yolo0o in I am Amit, ex-Head of Digital Marketing at Meta. I am here to talk about digital marketing, growing your business, switching careers, MBA, finding jobs, interviews or anything else related to marketing. AMA! by [deleted]

Out of curiosity, did you have an "in" at Meta to land that first role? Were you recruited out of the MBA program?

Reason I ask is, and I'm sure you would agree, that there we're probably people turned down for that same role who may have had a lot of experience than you in that field. Wondering what you did to get a leg up and get noticed by recruiters? I've been in my field (finance) for 9 years, having specializations in a lot of areas most others in my field don't, and yet, never receive a call back from these big companies.

I did get someone to refer me. This would’ve definitely helped me get the interviews. But post that I had to clear 5 interviews to get selected.

Five interviews in which everyone knew who you were, your "in" and why it would be prudent to select you, most likely.
