Get A Job At Google
In a brief strip in April's Fast Company, there a list of things and the chances of them happening. Getting a job at Google comes in at 0.005%, with getting a product accepted by Walmart (2%), getting a start up accepted at Y Combinator (3%) and getting in to Stanford Graduate School of Business (7%) all coming in higher.
Does that mean that if you dream of working at Google, you should give up on the dream? Of course not. But it's a lot harder than you think - and if it's your only dream you could be disappointed.
As we've said so many times before, there are hundreds of thousands of great companies you could be happy at. Don't get fixated on the consumer brands you know.




Google ain't the best place
Google ain't the best place to work, although it is a bit challenging to be part of that amazing entourage. Try that guardian post on the Great Reef. I heard the job is going to expire soon.
I have heard many good
I have heard many good things on how excellent Google treats their employees. I would not mind getting a job there.
Working on that Google opportunity...
First Google tech interview today - think it went well. Trying to land a manager position. Have appreciated all of the great advice, etc., during my search. In the mean time, off to Boston for an interview with a different company. Wish me luck!
Cheers - JAC
Scored an interview trip...
Heading to Seattle tomorrow for an interview with Google on Monday!
