How to start my career with Atlassian?

[Mac Buñag]

Hi everyone!

I've been trying to apply and start a career with Atlassian for the past 2 years with no luck. I can say my last successful interview was in July 2022 for a Peer-Level interview for the Customer Advocate - APAC role.

I've been applying on Linkedin and Atlassian's Career site and still no luck even for an initial interview.

Any suggestions or advice on what to do? Please help!

Thanks in advance,

Mac

Warning: Fairly generic advice incoming.

Compare the job description to your resume.  Seek out the skills and experience that are missing.

Since you have had one interview, use that to your advantage, by thinking about what they asked vs what was in the job description and add those to your list of things to improve on.

Hi Mac,

Here are a few tips to boost your chances:

• Continuous learning: Stay updated with Atlassian's latest products and industry trends. Obtaining Atlassian certifications can significantly enhance your credentials and demonstrate your commitment to the ecosystem.
• Expand your search: Consider roles at Atlassian Solution Partners like us at Ovyka. This experience is invaluable, providing hands-on exposure to the Atlassian ecosystem and often opening doors for future opportunities. Partners exist in all major markets. My personal advice: embrace this path! Direct customer interaction during solution delivery and implementation has been the most rewarding aspect of my career.
• Skill alignment: Ensure your skills and experience closely match the specific requirements of the roles you're applying for. Atlassian highly values expertise in their products and related technologies. Tailor your applications to highlight these alignments clearly.

Remember, persistence is key. The right opportunity will come along if you stay focused and continue to develop your skills within the Atlassian ecosystem.

Best of luck in your journey!
