A Facebook exec breaks down the 2 biggest misconceptions about landing a job at the tech giant
• Facebook jobs might seem unattainable, but you should still apply.
• That's VP of HR Janelle Gale's advice for prospective candidates.
• Facebook isn't looking for people with inside connections or educations from top schools, she said.
• Gale said they're mostly looking for people who are going to be able to bring a lot of passion into their roles.
Jobs at Facebook require a killer application. But that doesn't mean you should immediately disqualify yourself.
The tech giant recently topped Glassdoor's 2018 Employees' Choice Awards, and a whopping 94% of Facebook employees who've left reviews on Glassdoor would recommend the company to a friend. That's why Facebook VP of HR Janelle Gale is set to address how the company keeps its employees happy and engaged at Glassdoor's Best Places to Work Tour.
Gale said job candidates with an interest in Facebook shouldn't second guess themselves. Instead, you should just find a role that you know you'd truly enjoy, and apply. It's as simple as that.
"Make sure that's the central part of your story, because we're looking for the thing you enjoy," she told Business Insider. "We may ask you, 'Tell us about a time when time flew for you when you were working on a project?' because that is a signal for us. That is work you are going to be good at because you enjoy it."
