A referral definitely helps. But you do need to be qualified.

just applying through LinkedIn was enough

Thanks for all of the responses. Since you didn’t network, was it through a cold apply, a recruiter reaching out to you, or some other channel?

The reason why I’m asking is because I just joined Northwestern’s part time MBA program. I had a conversation with my career advisor and I was told that I just have to network to get an opportunity with Google since Google doesn’t do on campus recruiting. I am wondering if there’s a better way besides cold applying or reaching out to people on LinkedIn.

I started my career at Facebook (pre re-brand) then went to a start-up for a couple of years. From there I spent a few years at a large tech company, a few years at a FAANG-adjacent company, and then joined Google
