Want To Work At Google, Here's The Test Preparation

How to work at Google (Tech Crunch)

JAKARTA - In recent years, Google has occupied the highest position as the most comfortable company for employees. Many people want to work at the tech giant, but there are still many who don't know how to apply for jobs at Google.

However, Google does not randomly recruit prospective employees. On the other hand, the acceptance rate at Google is also relatively low. They are guided by the slogan "Apply. Interview. Decide."

Quoting CNBC, there are at least 12 interview stages so that you can be accepted on Google. Sundar Pichai, who is now CEO of Google, had to undergo at least nine interviews. At that time he applied for a position as SVP of Product Management.

To find out how to work at Google, the following steps must be prepared by prospective applicants.

1. Register with Google

Google already provides a special page related to job information at the technology company. Prospective applicants can visit the https://careers.google.com page then read information about various careers provided by the company.

Apart from America, Google has offices in various countries around the world, including in Indonesia. You can view jobs by location. Google's Asia Pacific office is in Singapore.

2. Determine the type of work desired

So that you can work at Google, try to choose the type of job that matches the abilities and background of the prospective applicant such as skills and education that have been taken.

Google is very concerned about this. The company also disclosed that they pay attention to your accomplishments and more specific information about your skills and experience.

3. Make a one-page CV only

In a CV, you are required to convey concise and concise information about your focus on the type of job you want to apply for. The reason is Google will not see your profile on your resume.

Unlike resumes sent to other companies, you don't need to include information related to education and work experience. The reason is, when you apply there, Google has prepared a special form for educational information and work experience.

4. Master English

Given that Google is the world's tech giant, it would be better for you to master English, both writing and speaking. Even though the one you choose is the Indonesian branch of the Google company, you still have to master English well and fluently. This is useful for you when communicating with people from other countries.

5. Prepare for the interview

If you remember the trailer for The Internship, the comedy film in which Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson play salesmen who have to compete with other applicants for internships at Google.

It's good for those of you who pass the initial selection to prepare well. The reason is, after the CV application document passes, the company will contact to proceed to the interview stage.

In interviewing prospective employees, Google uses a structured and straightforward science method. During the interview stage, prospective employees will be assigned to make various questions related to certain topics. After that, they will be directed to make judgments to be matched.

This is different from other companies, where HRDs provide questions to prospective employees. At Google, it's the opposite. In making questions, you must pay attention to 4 things, namely the ability to learn and adapt quickly, leadership, cooperation, and knowledge and experience of the field you want to apply for.

That's how it works at Google and the things that must be prepared before applying to the technology giant company.
