Hi All,

My little sister is graduating this weekend from Hampton University with a bachelor of Psychology.
She plans on applying to the
Google Project Management apprenticeship that just opened up. When applying for Google apprenticeships, is it helpful to get a referral from a Google employee? And if so, would anyone be willing you give her a referral?

It is absolutely helpful, but not necessary and does not make you a shoe-in

would encourage her to consider a role in research with that degree. More opportunities. Better pay. Equity.

I’ll tell her to look into User Research. Thank you very much for suggestion.

It would be great to have a referral but most Googlers only refer people they know because of how extensive the application is.

Awesome for your sister! Pretty sure it's always helpful to have a referral, but it's not a requirement and it won't guarantee anything. Also, I think Google's referral program is stricter than other firms and may not allow for blind referrals, at least that's what it seems like from what I've seen here.

I remember when I first started working on my thesis project. My adviser asked me to get some funding for it, but he didn't give me any advice about how to do that. He just told me that if I wanted money for my project, I'd have to go through some kind of committee process and submit an application for funding from them. Sure enough, after weeks of writing applications and waiting around for responses from the committee members (who were always too busy), I eventually got approved for funding!
