Applying for more than one position does not generally improve your chances. It actually usually has the opposite effect. Find someone you know at Google, even tangentially, and get them to submit your application for you.
- digitallogic 16y agoI'm apparently an outlier then. I've applied on three separate ocassions via their careers website, each time for multiple positions, without knowing anyone inside. Each time I was contacted for an interview, and the last two times I was contacted for more than one position I applied for. Never got far enough to get an offer though. Though the last round of phone interviews I went through, one of the engineers I was interviewing with actually commented that he'd never heard of anyone getting an interview via their website, only through a friend or a college recruiter.
- timcederman 16y agoYou sure are. I worked on the HR software previously used by Google, so I know firsthand a little bit about how the application process. I'm guessing you previously worked for a well known IT company and/or went to a top 50 university for a CS degree?
