Until you've made it big, no situation you'll find yourself in will be perfect. If it were easy to get ahead, they wouldn't call it work. To answer your question, if you can't think of a better strategy, get really good at something Google needs and make lots of friends, especially those who do/hire the thing you wanna be good at. Take care of yourself, stay focused, blah blah blah. Focusing on becoming more awesome, and your awesomeness will sell itself.
