How does a MySQL DBA get Facebook offer? (1)

We will not go into details about how powerful Facebook's technical capabilities are. It is a very challenging and interesting thing to be able to engage in technical work in such a large number of Internet companies. In fact, many programmers from China work at Facebook's headquarters. For example, the following cenalulu detailed the entire process of obtaining Facebook offer on his blog, which is very detailed and comprehensive. It is of great reference value for technicians who want to try their best on Facebook. The following is the original blog of cenalulu:

Preface

In October 2014, I was lucky enough to pass Facebook's e-face interview, attended the on-site interview at Palo Alto, and finally got the offer. There are a lot of things to record during this period for memo. At the time of preparation, we found that there were very few materials and sharing about Facebook interview experiences in China. Therefore, I would like to share my experience with you in a recorded manner so that more Chinese people can become part of Facebook! The entire record will be divided into three parts: interview process, interview questions, induction process and preparation of life. In the first two parts, I try to describe them objectively to avoid mistakes. If not, I need to reduce subjective understanding.

My job is MySQL Database Administrator, which is relatively unpopular. To make the audience wider, I try my best to describe the experience of programmers and other IT jobs that can be tried out in interviews. If you cannot stand the stream account narration form of the blogger, you can jump to the last section to get the brief customs clearance secret. :)

Basic Requirements

Let's take a look at the hard conditions needed to become a potential employee candidate for Facebook. The requirements are much simpler than you think:

Education level: After obtaining the offer, the undergraduate transcript will be presented during work visa processing. Therefore, a bachelor's degree is the lowest requirement.

English:There are no hard requirements for English and no ielts toefl score is required. I personally feel that I can easily understand the technology sharing on youtube. I will add some basic daily syntaxes and related professional vocabulary to complete the electrical and human faces smoothly.

Professional experience: There are no hard certificate requirements for relevant fields. Of course, if you do not have an internal push channel, you can have a certificate to increase the chance of being cited by the resume filter.

Technical Experience: The ability to maintain a system designed for Facebook servers is an important check point. Of course, you do not need to experience such a large amount of experience (after all, there are not many such companies ).

Home: "One person Offer, family benefits" is my summary of Facebook Relocation. Facebook considers your family (spouse and children) as a whole in all stages after obtaining the Offer. Therefore, as long as the support of family members is supported, the family members will not be involved in employment.

Foreign life experiences:Before a blogger went to Facebook, he had never been abroad except for a self-help honeymoon tour. It also proves that there is no hard requirement in this regard. I personally think that life is like learning to swim, throwing it into the water, and so on.

Will overturn the wall: Haha...

After reading so much, do you think you are also a qualified candidate for FB? :) The fire quickly enters the online application stage.

Stage 1: Online Application

Actually, my cenalulu was scheduled to go to San Francisco at the end of September 2014. In the beginning, I tried to give it a try, and thought that I could save my ticket money in case of an on-site interview, I used Linkedin to find several Silicon Valley companies that are recruiting MySQL DBAs. I have selected several giants to submit their resumes, including Google, EA, Apple, Linkedin, Twitter, and Facebook (hereinafter referred to as FB ). Sadly, only FB has passed the resume screening and received an email reply. Later, I learned from my friends who have worked in these companies that haitou's resume is indeed a relatively inefficient method. It is very likely that the subsequent interview opportunity will be lost because the keyword matching on the resume is unsuccessful. Therefore, it is not surprising that the first round of passing rate is so sad. They strongly suggest that if you want to stand out from the resume screening of a Silicon Valley company, you should try your best to find the company's employees for internal push. {: Style = "color: red "}

However, compared with domestic companies, the better job done by the Silicon Valley giants is that, whether your resume is approved or not, you will receive an email within two days. Therefore, we recommend that you check your email address once a day during online advertising. The following is a letter from my many tragedies (rejected:

Thank you for your interest in a role at Twitter. we have reviewed your experience in regards to this open position, and unfortunately do not see a strong match for you at this time. we will also keep your resume on file shocould a future match become available. we realize it is a time commitment to engage any company in the application process and we sincerely appreciate your efforts.

Each giant has its own recruitment homepage for specific job information. You can also search by Linkedin. FB job details can be through: https://www.facebook.com/careers? _ Rdr search. What? Blogger! This link cannot be opened! All right, turning over the wall is a "interview question" for Chinese applicants ".

In addition, make sure that you are ready before the entire interview application process. Because the efficiency of FB is very high, it takes only two or three days from the network application to the first electrical surface. Once the customs clearance fails, it takes at least half a year to cool down the next application.
