Hi. I recently applied for a communications job at Google. I am so embarrassed to admit that after passing the assessment and being contacted by a recruiter for an interview on Monday I noticed that there were two small (very minor) typos on my resume. I updated the resume and uploaded it to my employee profile on the Google Jobs website, but I’m wondering if I should proactively tell the recruiter that I would like for her to use a newer version of my resume? Gemini has advised me not to….

Don't sweat it. Most Google interviewers don't do more than a glance over resumes - if they bother looking at them at all. They only submit feedback based on what they observed during your interviews. Your resume isn't part of that evaluation.

Honestly, I've created job announcements, and when I get a resume, im looking for buzzwords that are in conjunction with the individual position KSA's. If HR personnel are doing that, let alone department heads? They are getting paid too much salary-wise due to "too much available time". Food for thought.

Last week I got automated call from infosys and asked few details .

Today same hr called and said she will be scheduling a client interview.

HR is scheduling the interviews without checking time with me. One interview was scheduled and then it was rescheduled to a different time at last minute. I wasn't available at that time so I mailed the HR for a different slot. They again scheduled it for a later date without checking the time with me.

I’ve put myself up for L4 promo this cycle. Assuming I get it, what would be the best next steps to optimize for long-term growth/TC?

My understanding is that L5->L6 is extremely painful at
Google. It may be easier to leave for a handful of years and gain managerial experience before returning.

L4->L5 is less challenging; however, I’m under the impression I can do this quicker at another company (if I leave after being freshly promo’d) AND get higher TC.

TC: 270K
