I am so excited because I received an invitation to interview with Google. This is a great opportunity for me. I going to be interviewing in a few weeks. Could anyone provide a referral? I am really not sure if this is not okay to ask. Feel free to drop any other comments or advices.

If you are already selected to interview, you don't need a referral. Plus at most companies, referrals need to be entered before you apply for the job.

You've been invited. Be proud, a referral could definitely help but it's not super necessary. They will ask if you know anyone at Google, so just answer honestly and worry more about preparing for the interviews than a referral.

Source: Got invited, went through with no referral. Got the job.

Awesome! That helps. Thank you so much.
