Now let’s tackle those pesky myths and set the record straight with Mythbusters !
Myth #1 : You must write a cover letter.
Reality : Most companies require a cover letter; Google does not! You only need a cover letter if you are applying to Google’s Information Technology Residency Program .
Myth #2 : My resume needs to be one page. I should spend hours playing with the margins, shrinking the font size and making the bullet points smaller so it can all fit.
Reality : We encourage you to keep your resume to one page, but understand the need to expand, especially if you're pursuing a graduate degree, have published papers or have a significant amount of work experience to highlight.
Myth #3 : I'm not applying to Google; I go to [XYZ small school] and Google does not hire from there.
Reality : False! Google looks at every application that we receive, and each one is screened by a human (not a robot). There is not a hard and fast GPA cut-off, and we screen, interview and hire students from universities large and small, far and wide. If you are passionate about computer science, software engineering, and doing cool things that matter please submit your application for an internship or full-time role today!
Myth #4 : My GPA isn't perfect. Why bother applying when I know Google won't hire me?
Reality : We understand that you are more than your GPA. When reviewing job applications Google looks at the entire package. Of course we value academic achievement, but you won't be instantly disregarded if your GPA is not stellar. We understand that every student has a different situation, and that different courses vary in their level of difficulty. We also value demonstrated passion for CS, so make sure your side projects are on your resume! This will help us look at the whole picture of everything you have accomplished, and help us evaluate your fit at Google to the best of our ability.
Now, time to get started!
