. | | | | | I wouldn't go quite that far. :-) 5-10 years ago, working at Google would have been quite the CV-enhancer. Now that they're such a huge and seemingly directionless company, I'm not so sure it'd be a smart move to go there.

I also applied via the website, and also have heard nothing...
It was a few weeks ago now, towards the end of january, and for the "University programmes specialist" position. A 'how to write a CV' blog post would definitely be of interest to those of us who are newbies to this whole 'real world, proper job' thing (i.e. me)...

Just in case some additional context is needed -- I work there, conducted 100+ interviews in the last 2 years, am a member of the hiring committee, and deliver interview training to engineers.
If anyone is thinking of applying then feel free to ask (sensible) questions here.

Well Nik, not speaking for myself but there's a position my other half is interested in applying for.
I'd prefer not to put these details on a open forum (likely to increase the already crazy competition), could you send me a PM please for a quick chat?  |
