How to Get a Job at Twitter
Twitter is growing fast, and they’re hungry for talent that can help them achieve their mission. They have no trouble finding interested prospects, either. A host of jobseekers in a wide variety of fields would love to call the offices of Twitter their second home.
Are you one of the many who want to join the growing Twitter team? If so, you’ll want to know what it takes to reach that goal.
Here’s how to get a job at Twitter.
1. Initial Interview
If Twitter is interested in your application or discovers you through networking, a recruiter will reach out to you and set up a phone or video interview. A hiring manager will then call you, explain the role, and ask you about your background and skills. As in every stage of the hiring process, be ready to show why you’re the perfect person for the job in question.
2. Assessment Test
Depending on the role you’re applying for, the next step may be an assessment test to gauge your abilities in areas like coding, data analysis, or engineering. These tests might be conducted live or as a “take-home” project. Getting it in take-home form isn’t uncommon, either, which is good news for any nervous job candidate.
3. Department-Specific Interview
Once you’ve made it past the assessment test, the hiring manager will schedule at least one phone interview — and probably multiple — with someone relevant to the department you’d be working in, such as a software engineer, designer, or product director. These specialists will ask you questions to get a better feel for your skills.
The exact questions will depend on what role you’re being interviewed for, of course. But one way Twitter’s interviews differ from other tech companies is that they generally skip the trend of asking seemingly random riddles or trick questions like “How many golf balls could you fit inside a school bus?”
Twitter prefers to evaluate the technical skills that will actually be required on the job. More than a few jobseekers will breathe a long sigh of relief at that news.
4. Onsite Interviews and Testing
Finally, you’ll be invited to one of Twitter’s offices to take part in a series of interviews with potential coworkers and managers. You’ll also be engaging in onsite tests and activities to further prove your capabilities. This is quite extensive and will require you to be at your best.
Prepare, prepare, prepare.
The Twitter hiring process usually takes 2–4 weeks from start to finish. Because it can move right along, make sure you’re properly prepared for every stage before you even get started. You don’t want to have to struggle to fit in prep time between the stages.
5. Welcome Aboard
If Twitter decides to extend an offer to you, congratulations! You’re stepping into a world of excitement, creativity, and world-changing innovation. You’ll be brushing shoulders with some of the most inspiring people in the tech industry and making a difference in the world.
