Lessons from my experience of getting my resume shortlisted at AWS

4 simple steps to get your resume shortlisted at your dream company

I had zero cloud experience and still I got my resume shortlisted at AWS. You can get it too at your dream company!

Prior to my AWS interview, I submitted by resume to countless companies and got a chance to interview with 8 of them.

Frankly, at that time, I was not sure why other companies did not shortlist my resume and the 8 companies did.

And I get it, there is no easy way for recruiters to shortlist candidates when there are over 1000 applicants for a specific job role.

On a lighter note, like this Reddit thread, I thought probably I got lucky with only 8 companies and unlucky with rest of them :)

But then, unexpected happened.

I got a call from a recruiter at AWS for the initial screening of my profile.

I was thrilled because I was able to get my resume shortlisted.

There is a difference between the two:

1. My resume got shortlisted

2. I got my resume shortlisted

My resume got shortlisted means I got lucky!

I got my resume shortlisted means I have put efforts to make it happen.
