I interviewed for an Internship at Google around September, as far as I know I had applied through the official Google jobs portal and I was contacted a few months later. I had a fair amount of internship experience at local companies, Github, Bitbucket, a blog, and a well written CV attached. In my mind the most important thing is to be able to prove that you are valuable as a tech intern. Show them that you take the initiative to learn things and write small projects. Put everything up online, even if it isn't complete. I ended up getting through all the interviews and assigned a project but was dropped in favor of another intern who was more suited to the task. So I'm currently interning at AWS instead.

> I ended up getting through all the interviews and assigned a project but was dropped in favor of another intern who was more suited to the task. Are you saying that Google gave you an offer and later withdrew it? That's what sounds like what happened here. Would really appreciate some clarification, because if true, that's pretty darn serious. Word of that would put a big dent in a company's reputation.

  Nah not an offer as such but I was interviewed by a project manager and it all seemed to go well and got to the point of discussing dates for starting and ending with a recruiter. Suddenly I was told someone better was found and they'd contact me if another suitable project arose. They have a funky intern recruitment system.
