If the author wants to work at Google and believes that knowing someone at Google is a prerequisite to get hired (doubtful) then he should try to connect with Google employees. It's not that hard, there are tens of thousands of them. Many of them participate in well known open source projects, and are active on mailing lists, social networks, etc. In other words, the author created a limitation in his mind and didn't bother trying to overcome it. I'd call this anti-resourcefulness.
