In the video’s captions, Netto wrote on his journey on how he got the job at the giant company. He has tried to get a job at Google since 2013 and never failed to apply every year.
He wrote that every time he failed to hear from Google, he would see what was wrong on his portfolio and tried to improve on it. Netto wrote, “After a certain point, I thought I didn’t have a degree from a reputed design college, which could be one of the reasons.”
“I don’t have control over that, but I have control over improving my portfolio and resume. So after several failed attempts, here I am.”
Tips from Netto
Netto also gave some tips to those that wants to try and apply for a job at Google. Those tips are:
- Keep trying and improvise.
- To get into google, you don’t need a fancy degree. If you are good at what you do, you will win it.
- When things aren’t happening in your favour, have patience and focus on the things you can control.
- Google has to process 70k- 1L applications weekly, and only ~144 people will get the job. To get shortlisted, showcase your passion for what you do.
- Ask for help and help others too. Review your portfolio, do a mock interview. Ask for referrals.
