As some know, I am in the process of sending out my resume to various companies around the US (and some in the UK also). I have an offer from the lab next door to where I am right now that is pretty good. But for right now, I am holding out for Google.
That’s right, I have successfully gotten past one HR and one technical interview (over the phone). We shall see what happens, but it is cool that I have gotten this far in the process. The position is for a Systems Deployment Engineer in the Mountain View HQ. I am not going to spill any juicy information about the interview and what they ask, other than to say the questions range from easy to mind bending. I was told the interview would focus on Java, so I studied a full day, trying to relearn the Java that I have not really used in 2 years. Well, the interview was mosly about web system architectures and C programming. The guy I talked with (Kelvin) said I would probably get another technical phone interview, and if I pass that one then I would be flown out to HQ. Pretty sweet, though the cost of living in CA is a major deterrent right now.
Separately, there is a cool network position over in the CIS/ECE departments at Cornell that would be rather nice to have. And a good bioinformatics position open in Cornell’s USDA lab.
I hope to get more good news soon…
