Dan Croitor: Interviewing for Googleyness at Google

 Here is the link. 

In this video I explain Google’s 10 Things (Core Values / Leadership Principles) and some insight into Google’s structured hiring process - for the behavioral part in particular. Contains screenshots with examples and advice. It is structured in 4 parts: A. Mission & Ten things we know to be true (Google’s 10 Core Values / Leadership Principles) 1. Focus on the user and all else will follow. 2. It’s best to do one thing really, really well. 3. Fast is better than slow. 4. Democracy on the web works 5. You don’t need to be at your desk to need an answer. 6. You can make money without doing evil. 7. There’s always more information out there. 8. The need for information crosses all borders. 9. You can be serious without a suit. 10. Great just isn’t good enough. B. Two most important things in a recruit, behavioral questions and how to prepare (STAR method) Googleyness. The first thing they measure here is cognitive ability, for example, they’ll ask you: Tell me about a tough problem you solved, how did you solve me, walk me through it. Preparation: 5 stories (full story + shortened into: situation, task, actions, result) + 3 x answers to 20 most common behavioral questions - examples in the video But one more highlight here in terms of leadership - or at least one more interesting keyword - is emergent leadership. I noticed various Google HR leaders referincing it throughout the years; whta does this mean: it’s essentially your ability to step in when there is a peoblem and step out when they are no linger needed. Would be great if you could also make this stand out in one of your prepared stories. C. Supercharge your resume with some tips; Read your CV in 6 seconds. Official advice on structure and more. And last but not least, and this should go without saying, typos in your resume won’t probably disqualify you, but you can be sure they will have a negative impact, so be sure you triple check it and ideally as a friend to review it for you. D. Best way to pass the screening round; hiring process Referrals. Apply through their jobs website. Google’s jobs website is between the very best. Google’s structured hiring is particularly efficient at creating a great applicant experience Sources and interesting reads: The list of behavioral questions shown: https://www.themuse.com/advice/30-beh...
