Google needs specialists - that's a fact. And:
- It is a fact that the company has turnover (probably a little less than the market average).
- There are always open vacancies on the Google website (the company is constantly looking for the best specialists).
- Google regularly spends days in Russia open doors, where you can get freely.
- Sometimes Google holds “open” subbotniks, which you can also attend and chat about on any topic.
- Google holds numerous competitions and competitions among students, they have internships and various mentoring programs. You can start small.
In a word, they are looking for you and waiting for you.
On the Google website and on the official blog of Google in Russia, I found several notes on the topic “how to get into Google.” I will try to bring them together in this note.
Who does the company need?
We need talented, proactive and hardworking specialists. There are a number of other wishes for employees, but the above are the main ones.
Working hours at Google
The technology knowledge required is varied. This especially applies to newcomers, students and interns. For these groups of people, Google generously allows creative freedom.
Employment process
The employment process is complex and consists of 3 main steps:
- Submitting a resume. At this stage, the HR manager will evaluate you (or rather, your resume) and decide whether to call you and schedule your first interview.
- Telephone interview. Here they will evaluate your technical knowledge and professional experience and decide whether to call you for a face-to-face interview in the office.
- Interview in the office. Meeting with several engineers, conversations, tests, answers to questions. Then a collegial decision will be made (everyone must approve your candidacy).
If after the second interview there are still doubts, they may invite you to another one. One of my friends said that he had 3 interviews in Yandex. Therefore, here too you need to be patient.
How to write a resume
If you want to get into an open position, the speed of resume review will be higher. If you want a job matched to your skills, you'll probably have to wait.
Important aspects of a resume for Google
- Write your resume strictly English language
- Be sure to indicate your GPA on your diploma.
- Indicate all certificates, victories in competitions, awards that are close to work or science (sports and military awards no need to list)
- Tell us about your publications and scientific works
- Focus on those projects that you were interested in very interesting(and not just those in which you were successful). Can you tell us about something that you have ever come up with and brought to life (for example, if you came up with a Soviet gas stove a timer that turns off the gas and brought to life, be sure to write about it)
- Write about your hobby or your passions
- Tell us what makes you stand out from the crowd and what makes you unique on this planet
And this is all in addition to a well-written resume. These 7 points are a task for the image maker (that is, for you!).
Nothing helps in work and career more than the awareness of your own greatness, confirmed by ironclad arguments, your confident behavior and impeccable appearance.
What else can help you find a job?
Decide why you like Google and why you want to work there.
I remember when I went for an interview at Megafon, they interviewed me there for a long time and persistently (there were 2 rounds) and after all the negotiations they agreed to hire me with the wording “suitable, but not enough motivation to work at Megafon.” Large companies they love to be loved perfectly and completely. It's in their blood.
Just for fun, to get a job at Megafon I was given a huge stack of documents (plus I had to do a fluorography and undergo a medical examination). They reasonably gave 2 weeks to fill it out. While I was filling out the passport numbers of my grandparents, another company made me an offer and I didn’t get into Megafon. Did not have time. There was really little motivation :)

Hello, Dear friends! Alexander Berezhnov is in touch.
As you already understood from the title, today we will talk about getting a job, namely competently writing a resume. There is a lot of literature on this subject on the Internet, but it is clear and clear instructions I did not find. Therefore, I offer my instructions, compiled according to an accessible and simple algorithm.
Be sure to read the article to the end - the finale is waiting for you to download!
1. What is a resume and what is it for?
If you still don’t quite understand what a resume is, I suggest giving it a definition:
Summary- This brief self-presentation in writing Your professional skills, achievements and personal qualities that you plan to successfully implement in your future job in order to receive compensation for them (for example, in the form of money or other type of compensation)
In the past, I myself had to write a resume when applying for a job. After all, without this, no employer will even know about you and your professional skills.
I remember when I first sat down to write my resume, it took me a lot of time to compose it correctly and format it according to all standards. And since I like to understand everything thoroughly, I studied the issue of correct spelling very deeply. To do this, I talked with professional specialists on personnel and studied a large number of articles on the topic.
Now I know how to write a resume correctly and will gladly share it with you.
I am sharing with you samples of my resumes, which I wrote for myself personally:
(you can download them completely free)
Thanks to my ability to write professional resumes, I never had any difficulty getting a job. Therefore my knowledge is reinforced practical experience and are not dry academic theory.
So, what is the secret of writing good resume? Read about it below.
2. How to write a resume correctly - 10 simple steps
Before we move on to the steps, I want you to remember 3 main rules for successful resume writing:
Rule #1. Write the truth, but not the whole truth
Emphasize your strengths and don't mention your weaknesses too much. You will be asked about them at the interview, be prepared for this.
Rule #2. Stick to a clear structure
The resume is written on 1-2 sheets, no more. Therefore, try to briefly and succinctly present all the necessary information, even if there is a lot of it.
Take care of careful formatting of the resume text and its structured presentation. Because no one likes to read gobbledygook.
Rule #3. Be optimistic and cheerful
Positive people attract success. In your case, a new job.
So, let's move on to the structure of writing a resume.
Step 1. Resume Title
Here you must write the word “Resume” itself and indicate for whom it was compiled.
All this is written on one line.
For example: Resume of Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich
Then your potential employer will immediately understand who owns the resume. For example, you previously called a company you are interested in to find out if they still have this vacancy open. You were given a positive response and asked to send your resume.
At the end of the first step, your resume will look like this:
Step 2. Purpose of the resume
It is important to remember that your resume must have a purpose. It is correct to formulate it as follows (phrase):
The purpose of the resume is to apply for an accountant position
Since at this moment you are called that - an applicant, that is, a person job seeker, potentially claiming it.
At the end of the second step, your resume will look like this:
Step 3. Applicant and his data
In this paragraph you must write the following:
- date of birth;
- address;
- contact number;
- e-mail;
- Family status.
At the end of step three, your resume should look like this:
Step 4. Education
If you have several entities, then write them in order.
For example:
Moscow State University, 2005-2010,
Speciality: accountant (bachelor)
Moscow State University, 2007-2013,
Speciality: translator in the field of professional communication (bachelor's degree)
At this stage, your resume should look like this:
Step 5. Work experience
Please note that the “work experience” column is written in the resume starting from your most recent place of work, if it is not the only one, and begins from the period spent in this position.
For example:
Job title: chief accountant's assistant;
Job title: accountant
Now we have already written half of the resume, it should look like this:
Step 6. Job Responsibilities
This item in the resume is not always required if the vacancy for which you are applying is quite common, and you held a similar position at your previous place of work.
Sometimes this point can be included in the previous one by writing your own job responsibilities immediately after the post.
Step 7. Achievements at previous jobs
The “Achievements” item is one of the most important in a resume! It is much more important than education and even work experience.
Your potential employer wants to know what exactly they will pay you for wages. Therefore, it is very important to mention when writing a resume all significant achievements at previous jobs. At the same time, please note that it is correct to write in words that are so-called “markers” for personnel service employees reviewing your resume.
For example, the correct way to write:
- increased sales volumes by 30 percent in 6 months;
- developed and implemented new technology into production;
- reduced equipment maintenance costs by 40%.
It is incorrect to write:
- worked to increase sales;
- took part in a project to create a new technology;
- reduced equipment costs.
As you can see, it is also important to write specific numbers, since they very clearly reflect the essence of your achievements.
Now your resume looks something like this:
Step 8: Additional Information
Here you need to describe your strengths, professional knowledge and skills that will directly help you better and more efficiently perform the tasks assigned to you at your new place of work.
Usually the following is written here:
- Proficiency in computers and special programs. This is relevant for office workers and employees whose direct work connected to PC. For example, for designers, accountants, programmers, office managers.
- Knowledge of foreign languages. If your future work involves reading, translating or communicating in a foreign language and you speak it to a certain extent, be sure to write about it. For example: English spoken.
- Availability of a car and driving skills. If your work involves business travel and you often have to drive a car, for example, while working as a sales representative, then you should indicate the presence of your car, as well as the category of driver’s license and experience.
Thus, in additional information Along with computer and foreign language skills, write: you have a personal car, category B, 5 years of experience.
Step 9. Personal qualities
There is no need to describe too many qualities here, especially if they do not apply to you. future work. You may be a kind and sympathetic person who loves children and respects your friends, but a potential employer will not be interested in reading about your “heartiness” and rich inner world.
For example, if you are applying for the position of an accountant, then it would be good to write here: composure, attentiveness, punctuality, efficiency, mathematical mind, ability to analyze.
If you are applying for a more creative profession, say, a designer or creator, then you should indicate here: a developed creative imagination, a sense of style, an unconventional view of a problem, healthy perfectionism.
It will be very cool if at the end of your resume you mention your full name. and positions of your former managers, and also indicate their contact numbers so that your potential employer or his representative can verify your professionalism by receiving feedback about you from your former immediate managers.
Even if your potential employer does not call your previous managers, the very fact of having contacts for recommendations will significantly increase his trust in you.
At the very end of your resume, you must indicate when you are ready to start work, and here you can also indicate your desired salary level.
The final look of your resume:
Congratulations! Your resume is 100% ready!
To find your dream job, you need to post your resume on Internet portals. A very convenient and simple site for finding a job is JOB.RU. Here you can very quickly and today receive your first call from an employer.
Finally, I will provide several sample resumes that can be slightly adjusted and immediately used to send to your potential employer.

A beautiful, professional and technically correct resume is 50% of success when finding a job. Finding correctly compiled samples, templates or design examples, thinking through the structure and order of data arrangement, and presentation of information is not as simple as it seems at first glance.
And therefore, in order not to waste time, let’s turn to web services that will help not only save time when compiling, but also provide many tools and templates for creating an attractive resume.
Many users consider the most convenient service for writing a resume web office Google Docs. This service is part of the Google Drive cloud and therefore you can work with it immediately by simply opening your browser, and no installation or configuration is required.
In order to start creating a new resume, you should open your Google profile, and if you don’t have one, go through simple process registration. The service offers several template options for creating a resume for almost all cases. To choose the right one, just select “Resumes and Cover Letters” in the menu, and then look at the “Template Gallery”. This section presents several types of templates - official Google templates. In order to familiarize yourself with each of them in more detail, just mark the one you need and click the “View” option. When a suitable one is found, click “Use this template”. The service will create a new document based on the selected template. Now the user only has to enter the relevant information into the form fields.
You also need to remember that potential employers like multimedia files: pictures or videos that would indicate your competence. For example, you can attach screenshots of your work to your resume; if you don’t know how to take screenshots, I suggest reading the article on how to take a screenshot on a computer. Of course, your resume should not consist only of pictures, but if the picture is “on topic”, you need to add the picture to the resume.
Depending on the selected template, personal data is entered into it, short biography, education received, courses, work experience and other information. The principles for saving a document are exactly the same as for other Google Docs documentation - all work is saved automatically in the cloud. Therefore, there is no need to worry about a frozen program or a broken laptop at the wrong time - you can call up your resume from anywhere in the world and from any computer by simply logging into your account in .
In addition to resume templates, you can find templates for cover letters and other official documents in Google Docs. When all the necessary templates are completed, the resume can be printed or sent to in electronic format. To send to a printer, you must select the “Print” option in the “File” menu, and to send by e-mail, you first need to download all created documents to your computer in standard formats to choose from: PDF, DOCX, and then send to the employing company’s email, as usual. To upload your resume and cover letter you need to open the “File” menu and select the “Download as...” option, checking the required format. If you have any doubts about what format is best to send your resume, you should check with the employer or choose the PDF format - it is most often used for business correspondence.
By the way, if you didn’t know, you can work offline.
Creating a resume in Google Docs has several big advantages compared to the usual way:
- the ability to write a correct, professional resume in compliance with all norms and standards;
- the user can create and save several resume options, for each employer separately or in accordance with his professional skills. There is also the possibility of additional editing of previously created documents.
- access to all resume options at any time and from any computer with Internet access. The ability to instantly correct text, print and send.
Video.
To better understand the Google Docs service, I suggest watching a training video about this service.

Google recruiter Laszlo Block shared the secrets for successful employment in the most attractive corporation in the world for job seekers, and also talked about mistakes that are best avoided in a resume. Laszlo has 15 years of experience, so he knows what he's talking about.
Over the course of his career, Laszlo Block has sent out hundreds of resumes and personally reviewed at least 20,000 resumes. Sometimes Google receives more than 50,000 resumes from all over the world per month. But for 15 years he sees the same mistakes that are repeated year after year, from resume to resume...
According to Block, due to great competition, recruiting managers simply do not bother to delve into the analysis of professional and personal qualities a person if there is at least one mistake in his resume. Believe me, a single mistake in a Google resume is enough to cancel everything out and increase the chances of a more successful candidate getting hired.
An HR specialist at Google identifies 5 main mistakes in resumes, which will be discussed further.
Typos and grammatical errors
People make them happen all the time. According to CareerBuilder, 58% of all resumes contain typos and other errors. Blok jokingly notes that the most mistakes in resumes are made by people who spend a long time editing them. Applicants for an attractive position return to the text again and again, make edits and improve it. At the same time, inconsistencies and rearrangements of letters in words are overlooked. A Google specialist considers these typos fatal because employers see them as the applicant's inability to guarantee high quality your work.
In order not to miss a single typo, he advises rereading the text from bottom to top, in reverse order - this method allows you to concentrate on writing individual words.
Amount of information in resume
The generally accepted rule is that a candidate must fit 10 years of work experience on one page. In practice this is not easy to do. No matter how interesting a resume you write, no one even thinks of reading it to the end if it is three, four, or ten pages long.
To support his version, Blok quotes Blaise Pascal’s phrase: “I would express my thoughts briefly, but I don’t have time for that.” Reducing the volume of text takes a lot of effort and requires certain skills. Block emphasizes that in a Google resume, it's important to get the reader interested in inviting themselves for an interview—and that's all. Once a person gets an interview, the resume no longer has any meaning.
Formatting
The text of your resume should be easy to read. Use white paper, black ink, and at least size 10 font. Align the columns, ensure equal spacing between rows, and duplicate your name and contact information on each page. Remember that when Word and Google Docs files are sent, the formatting in them is often garbled. To avoid such trouble, save your resume as a PDF.
Confidential data
Between the desire to show how great a specialist you are and maintaining the employer’s confidentiality, you always need to choose the second point, especially when confidentiality is specified in the contract.
Lie
Blok is convinced that lies should never be written on a resume. For this, everyone, including managers, loses their positions. People lie about their education, how long they worked in their previous position, how significant it was, the effectiveness of their work, and much more.
A Google HR executive notes that lying causes three big problems:
- It tends to reveal itself at the most inopportune and unexpected moment;
- A lie stays with you forever;
- For some reason our parents taught us not to do this.
By avoiding these mistakes, anyone can significantly increase their chances of getting hired at Google.
