What is Google?

Google is possibly the most well known and widely used internet search engine, and, for those of us too lazy to change our homepage, is the first thing we see everytime we turn the internet on. Google's toolbar has even made it possible for people to search from anywhere on the web. But Google isn't just about making internet searches fast and easy to use, it helps businesses gain exposure through advertising and sponsorship, while committing itself to the development of new technologies. Google therefore has many opportunities for graduates in a range of fields.

What roles are available at Google?

Google advises graduates to apply for internships with a view to employing new staff, rather than encouraging graduates to apply for entry level jobs.

Application process for Google

Online applications, followed by telephone interview and then onsite interview.

Entry requirements and type of person suited for Google.

Applicants from any academic background can apply for roles with Google. Suitable applicants should have good problem solving skills, be creative and forward thinking, have an enthusiasm for technology and good communication skills.

Future prospects and training at Google.

Google provides practical and financial assistance to those applicants who are successful in applying for internships in other countries. Google offers many training programmes and development initiatives for all employees. Its continued growth means successful applicants can expect to work in a wide range of fields with good performance-related promotion prospects.
