Google Hiring Best Practices

March 26, 2017

Introduction


It is 38 minutes video, and Julia likes to review the video again and take down the notes. She likes to know the more by taking notes, google search and come back in the future to review, since Google is hiring right people and is very successful, it makes good sense to learn from the Google. Do you agree?

Her blog about the video in January 12, 2016 is here.

It is not easy task to write down good notes, last time Julia did take notes but after 12 months she had to relearn everything, basically after the study, she did not continue to do any more related study, and she thought that Google is such a far-away-target company to study because she had never experienced anything, like a social event or tech event from Google before January 2017. She does not know that hiring success is leading to Google success.

So, Julia likes to start all over again; and then understand the difference.
