At first I confused it with this article that I saw yesterday by a friend who works at google. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/20/b...e-such-a-big-deal.html?pagewanted=2&_r=0

I haven't read the above article yet, but I went to a conference last year where I got to meet with a HR Rep from google to try and get an inside into how to get a job there. And I must say I was intimidated by what one needed to do to just LAND the interview. (I'm a programmer with 15 yrs experience but have been out of the job market for 10.)
