Erica, a recruiter here at Google, shared her top tips for Google applicants. Explore our open career opportunities ➡️ https://goo.gle/3CuSPvK

  • 3 tips from a Google recruiter
  • Use the STAR method: “When interviewing at Google, I always suggest using the STAR method when answering questions. In other words, be sure to explain the situation at hand, give the task yoiu took to fix the situation, the actions you took to fix the situation, and the result. This will help keep your answers
  • Research the role: “When building your resume, I always suggest that candidates study the role they’re applying for — especially the minimum qualifications — and ensure their resume aligns with what the company is looking for.”
  • Use social media to network: “If you’re interested in a role, go on social media and find someone in that role you’re interested in. Look at their trajectory, which activities they’re involved in, their past job titles, etc. — and use that during your search.”

Google Since the day one after completing my masters, I'm trying my best possible to get into Google Workspace but somehow due to the min experience quote I am left behind, I just want one chance to prove myself I am capable of working with smart people and can bring new ideas to the table I just want to be part of Google and asking for a job role.

I would like to add another method called the "STARE" method. Even after explaining how well the engagement overall in the situation interviewer/recruiter always wants the other creative position to be filled. Now the tech market is huge and so are the roles. If I apply for one job, in an interview they were expecting to fill the other position. Now, I simply stare at them on what should I do next 😃 Company's approach are not uniform to research the roles. I hope to see some other real methods to reach there.

Great post! Another tip, proofreading before posting can help catch small errors like spelling mistakes or cut-off sentences.

Google , I don't find any of your recruiters do really check the applicants resume end to end. I personally feel that they just notice the location of the applicant and where does he/she completes the UG/PG. And as suggested in tip 3, if we find any person who works for Google we could see only honey coated words which describes the work cycle in Google but when we see the reality it doesn't match, it means that if we ask any person who is ex employee of Google says that the post is just for branding it. So, I feel that the 2 & 3 tips which were provided by Erica is useless for seeking opportunities in Google.

When looking for candidates, are the recruiters doing their job responsibilities? For the most part, I believed and experienced that they simply get resumes in order to meet quotas, filter, and phone or contact the prospects. Recruiters shouldn't be greedy, in my opinion, by having high expectations of applicants. There are no ideal applicants, and a successful career is not guaranteed for anyone who can talk or respond to interview questions.

Very insightful.... A lot of recruiters might benefit from it. Another thing that can benefit a recruiter is a smart tool, an understanding sidekick.

"Using the STAR method in an interview is like this: Situation: You forget your homework. Task: You need to explain why. Action: You say, 'I have a great story!' Result: You still get an A for creativity!" or, Situation: Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water, but they tripped and fell! Task: They needed to get the pail of water to the bottom of the hill without breaking it. Action: Jack tried rolling down the hill like a ball, and Jill used her hands like paddles to stop the pail from tipping. Result: They reached the bottom safely, with water still in the pail, and laughed so hard that the whole village wanted to know their secret! or, Situation: Robert Frost stood at a fork in the woods, staring at two paths. He had to decide which one to take. Task: He needed to choose the right path that would lead him to the best adventure. Action: He carefully looked at both paths, thought about where each might lead, and decided to take the one less traveled by. Result: That choice made all the difference, as he discovered a beautiful, hidden world no one else had seen! 😁
