You will work with your coach to go through what makes a Google employee and try to build a better understanding of what Google is looking for in a person. Google places a huge importance on unique resumes so submitting something that is carefully crafted and specific to the role you are applying for is important. Our coaches will help you align your skills and experience with the job description and tie your work to the job description. They will help you with thinking about your work in terms or outcomes - which is important at Google.

Once you have an interview scheduled our coaches can help you to think about preparing for that interview. Some Google applications for technical roles will require brief online assessments, and our coaches can teach you how best to approach these which can be especially useful if you get nervous. The first interview stage with Google is usually a short chat with a recruiter to assess your fit and whether you have the required skills for the role.

Once you have passed the screening stage the next steps will be to focus on preparing for the rigorous in-depth interviews. These can consist of 3-4 interviews in a day and are designed to give everyone an equal opportunity to stand out and show off their skills. Our coaches will work with you to help you understand the structured interviewing process that Google use and the 4 attributes that they are looking for: General cognitive ability, Leadership, Googleyness, & Role-related knowledge

This session is used to finish going through the structured interview questions. You will have mock interviews with a set of 1-2 dozen questions that we have provided from real Google interviews. Similar to the overview, time the mock interview questions and try to keep your response to 2-3 minutes. Throughout these sessions, your coach will tailor the program to your specific needs, and may cover other topics (confidence, communication) to make sure you’re ready for the interviews.
