Look what amazing job post just showed up in my feed?
A Managing Director opening at Google!
Here's the good news.
✅ L9 role
✅ Free lunch
✅ Great company
✅ Likely seven-figure annual comp
But, as you read this now, this role is already seven days old on LinkedIn.
With more than a hundred applicants submitted here on LinkedIn. Plus, significantly more from Google's career site directly.
Good luck getting considered for this role.
Fortunately, there are better ways to learn about this role earlier. And a way to dramatically increase the likelihood that you'd get considered for this sort of job next time (as the horse has likely left the stable on this one).
By building relationships and earning advocates that will open doors for you.
That's exactly how a recent client of Kadima Careers got considered for a leadership role at Intel. Then, with the proper preparation, he nailed the interview, landed the role, and negotiated for $90k more. And it all began with a relationship, not a job posting.
So, as you think about how you're gonna get your next job, spend your precious time where the best payoffs will occur - renewing latent relationships and building brand new ones.
Have you ever landed a job because of your relationships?

It’s been 3+ years at Google and it took me 3+ years to get the job. Here’s what I learned about the process:
1️⃣ Start with patience
➡️ It takes months, if you’re lucky. Quite often years. Why? Because, quite literally, an estimated 3 million apply to the company every year - so competition, sadly, is fierce. Most Googlers I know have interviewed for multiple roles over the years and got many rejections including myself (p.s. no one likes to talk about rejection, right?)
2️⃣ Networking gets you further
➡️ I only started getting “callbacks” to interviews when a mentor of mine asked a friend of hers at Google for a referral. Getting someone to put in a very strong word (not a ghost referral) will go a long way.
3️⃣ LinkedIn helps close the deal
➡️ I’ve had multiple colleagues get hired through LinkedIn, and I myself used LinkedIn to follow up with an interview process or simply showcase my knowledge and passions to a hiring manager based on value-add posts on LinkedIn.
Hope this helps!

So here are some tips on how to land an interview at Google or anywhere else:
𝟭. 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀: Reach out to people for informational conversations, but be genuine and personalize your approach. Learn about the person, the role, the team, and the company. Focus on seeking advice; a referral may follow organically.
𝟮. 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Research roles carefully. Don't just apply to any role. It doesn't look good if you're applying to all types of roles in the same company.
𝟯. 𝗧𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲: In order to stand out on paper, you need to customize as much as you can. Emphasize keywords from the job description to demonstrate your fit.
Finally, don't give up.
It's very competitive, but learn from rejections, and keep applying strategically.

Recently, I had a conversation with Microsoft’s hiring manager, who shared an eye-opening statistic:
- 80% of hires come from referrals.
- There’s a flood of 500+ applications per position.
So, what’s the secret?
Focus on genuine relationships.
Instead of solely seeking referrals, build meaningful connections.
Network, nurture relationships, and find advocates who will vouch for you.
It’s not just about what’s on your resume, but who knows you.
Let’s shift our focus from chasing referrals to fostering real connections that propel our careers.
We’ve now launched a new program where my team and I (most of whom are LinkedIn Top Voices and top recruiters) will support you until you secure a job, or you won’t have to pay!
We only work with specific individuals, so if you’re interested, please comment “SUPPORT” below, and I will send you the application form!
