Google everything In the vast expanse of the digital universe, few entities wield as much influence and impact as Google. From its humble beginnings as a search engine to its current status as a tech titan, Google has become an indispensable tool in our daily lives, shaping how we access information, connect with others, and navigate the complexities of the modern world. Being the most popular search engine in the world is at the core of Google's relevance. Users can obtain a multitude of information covering almost any topic with a few clicks. Google is an information portal that may be used for academic research papers, technical problems, or simply to quench one's curiosity. It gives people the ability to learn, explore, and discover at their convenience. Its extensive database of online pages and powerful algorithms guarantee that users receive trustworthy and pertinent results, democratizing information access and leveling the playing field for students everywhere. Beyond productivity tools and search, Google's impact is far-reaching, including a diverse range of goods and services that have revolutionized markets and upended established business structures. Google has shown a talent for invention and a willingness to disrupt the existing quo with projects like YouTube, the largest online video platform, and Android, the most popular mobile operating system in the world. Google Maps, Google Photos, and Google Translate are just a few examples of projects that have completely changed the way we travel, store memories, and overcome language obstacles. As digital technologies drive an increasingly linked world, Google has emerged as a revolutionary force, changing our ways of interacting with our surroundings, communicating with people, and getting information. Every part of our life is impacted by Google, from its modest origins as a search engine to its current position as a digital giant with a wide range of goods and services.

Leadership Strategist & Consultant | Founder & CEO | Author of Bet on Yourself | Former Right Hand to CEOs Jeff Bezos of Amazon & Eric Schmidt of Google
Want to hire top talent but feel like you can’t afford to do so? Take a page out of Google’s playbook! Before Google had all the money in the world to hire diamond-quality employees, they focused on those that simply needed the right precision cutting to release their brilliance. Case in point was Google employee #20, Marissa Mayer, who was my first manager at the company. She was the first female engineer hired at Google and one of her early assignments was to build Google AdWords. She wasn’t tasked with just running it - her 3 person team had to invent and build it first. In the early years, Google purposely didn’t hire specialists for specific roles. They instead hired for the highest possible intelligence, grit and resilience. They hired people they could trust to teach themselves to do anything. Marissa had a BS in Symbolic Systems and a MS in Computer Engineering from Stanford. Her only prior work experience was an internship at a bank in Switzerland. While she didn’t know how to build or run an ads team, she did know something that turned out to be even more important. She knew how to teach herself how to do hard things. And so she did. AdWords went on to produce 96% of the company’s revenue within just a few years. If you’re hoping to hire a team of “Marissas” , prioritize seeking out those who have a long track record of not only learning fast but a passion and talent for teaching themselves to do difficult things. #MarissaMayer #Google #Yahoo #CEO #Potential #Leadership #Tech

There's plenty of talented Software people available on the market these days, and like in the old days I see companies and headhunters fall in the all too common trap : to flatter their internal or external - I plead guilty too! - customers' taste for conformity, they over-specialize their search. Don't forget this golden rule: whilst a certain degree of familiarity with your business might make things faster at first, it's actually people who can build things and teach themselves new ones that will prove fundamental in the longer run. Those are the ones who will grasp the unique, foundational needs of your business and pave its way to success.

Looking to land a job in the high-flying tech world? 👨💼💻 Three experts weigh in to give you their top tips: 1. Network your way to a top tech job 😊 Garrett Nelson is a senior sourcing specialist at SpaceX and believes that his business school network helped him get his foot in the door at the company. The professor of one of his classes at UC San Diego Rady School of Management informed students that the purchasing director at SpaceX was hiring new talent and wondered if they knew anyone who would be a good fit. 2. A mix of skills can help you get into tech after business school 🤝 Henry Sher is an enterprise digital specialist at Microsoft and an MBA graduate from Peking University Guanghua School of Management. He believes that being armed with both soft skills and hard skills will help you break into tech. “Soft skills can include your cultural aspirations or cultural attributions,” he says. Within Microsoft, this is about nurturing a growth mindset and becoming customer obsessed. 3. Internships can help you break into tech 👨💼 Giulia Poletti de Chaurand—now a tech investor at Hg Capital—did an internship during her master's degree at Bocconi University. “I did more than one internship [at business school], which helped me understand what I wanted to do, as well as provided a full-time job offer,” she says.

Ex-Google | Helping Job Seekers Secure Their Next Role Through Expert Mentorship & Coaching in 90 Days| Get Our 4-Step Career Guide at: MPHTechAcademy.com
You want to work for a big tech company, but you don't know where to start? Story time. One of my colleauges broke into Google without an Ivy League degree or prior experience in tech. How? He found a tiny problem and built a solution/prototype to solve it. No certifications, no financial backing, nothing but determination. In his words: "If you want to work for big tech, you need a different mindset." They don't want perfection, they want problem solvers. So, start small: - Build a portfolio of work. - Look for problems that smart people ignore. - Share what you're learning. - Connect with people who work in big tech. This also applies for people who want to break into any industry. Most importantly, keep going. You may not land Google as your next company but you may be well on the path there. The road to big tech is long, but it's worth it. Trust me. P.S. If you want to know how I broke into Google or a FAANG without a fancy degree from a prestige college, comment "mentor" below and I'll show you. #careercoaching #hiring #jobsearch

I wanted to take a moment to reflect on my personal experience with the Google hiring process and share some insights that might resonate with others. Going through the Google interview process is an exciting yet nerve-wracking journey. I've witnessed the anticipation and hope that candidates build up as they progress to the interview stage, only to encounter uncertainties during the Hiring Committee (HC) review. Last summer, I found myself in a similar position, eagerly awaiting an HC interview. I invested significant time rewriting my intern survey countless times, hoping to improve my chances. Despite my dedication, I wasn't selected. Looking back, not receiving a Google offer turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Opting for another FAANG company provided me with a Return Offer after completing my internship. Had I chosen Google, I might have faced uncertainties during conversion in a challenging job market. Unfortunately, many candidates, despite acing their interviews, find themselves waiting for a Google offer that may never materialize. Please don't give students who are just about to enter the corporate world the taste of despair even before they started their journey. It is not my intentions to blame any recruiter, I'm just trying to pour my heart out and maybe give others a wake up call to not stop looking for jobs even after you clear Google interviews. #google #googlehiring #internhiring #internship

Founder & Principal, Glidelane Consulting | DEI & Procurement ESG Leader | Former Google Leader | Founder of Business Inclusion & Product Inclusion Movement | Scope 3 | Investing in & Advising Founders of color
A big share today – since I quit Google in May I have started Glidelane, which is dedicated to helping other founders of color, and to helping all businesses succeed by centering Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and Sustainability in their business operations and product development. When I joined Google as an MBA intern in 2007 I could not have foreseen the opportunity to forge a path over 15 years that included creating several roles and teams of people who would embed DEI across various products, goto market areas, procurement and business operations. I could not have foreseen the reach and economic impact of that work in real communities, the number of careers that would be launched and supercharged, or the impact it would have on my personal identity. Creating the Movement around Business and Product Inclusion with the most talented people I have ever worked with was a dream job. Creating our Procurement ESG shop and having global impact in climate, equity and Supplier Diversity was a career summit. Along the way I coached many colleagues and industry mentees through the perceived risks of leaving their jobs to pursue their next growth opportunity. This year it became time to take my own advice. Now, leaving Google has been one of the most exciting and affirming experiences of my career because of the gratitude I have been afforded to give and receive with so many teammates and partners. So today I am proud to introduce Glidelane! Our advisory and consulting work is focused on 1. helping talented founders of color succeed in growing purpose-driven enterprises, 2. Helping any organization focused on embedding DEI and climate-positive practice into their products and operations. We have been practicing with our first clients this summer, and now I’m excited to put out the “open for business” sign. If you are a founder of color let’s talk about how we can help. If you represent any company willing to explore product- & operations-focused, systemic solutions for your business, let’s talk. Connect with us at www.glidelane.com. My huge thanks to all of you who shared some of the past 15 years with me. I’m excited to continue the journey!
