Recently hired by Google... full-time temp contract position which is exciting for me, not really coding, but a technical position that required some training, and pay is a lot less than what I made at my last job, even after a negotation, but the experience of working for Google and being able to put the company on my resume is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, especially at my age.
I applied once.. years ago, didn't hear back, and I knew that dream died quickly. But I've worked a few jobs since then, and after applying to hundreds of jobs recently, hoping one would land and forgetting that I'd even applied, a rep called me to remind me that I had an orientation to attend with Google.
I had a few other interviews for coding positions and other non-tech industry positions and I could wait it out, but Google hired me immediately after I took a test and passed. And now I figure having Google on my resume, whether my time here lasts a month, three months, six months, or a year... it's a blessing to me no matter what.
Just looking out for the future, do companies actually notice or care if Google is on your resume?
