Hi Everyone, the time has finally come. I have waited 8 months for a position at Google and have been preparing my skills and resume for the same. Now the position has been posted 3 days ago but I’m unable to find a referral. Can anyone please please help me with it? I really don’t want my 8 months efforts to go to waste because I know chances are next to impossible without a referral.

What’s the position? You realize that the same position often gets posted several times throughout the year, as Google is quite large and hires multiple ppl for the same roles all around the world.

The notion that you need a referral to have a chance is simply incorrect. Tens of thousands of ppl get hired at Google every year without one. I applied for 3 roles with a referral and never heard back. The role I have now, I applied for without a referral.

Additionally, if you apply with a referral from someone who doesn’t personally know you and can speak to your professional qualities, it’s basically the same as applying without a referral

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?
