Jules — a program manager on Google's recruiting team — shared her tips for answering our non-technical interview questions ("tell me about a time when..."). "You may be surprised to learn just how many Googlers are working in non-technical roles," Jules explained. "These positions include business analysts, human resources, sales, marketing, public policy, communications and more." For all roles at Google, we ask non-technical questions to get a better understanding of how you approach and solve problems. Jules' advice for answering this type of question? "Try to find connections between the job listing and your resume. Re-read both to help you draw lines between the two and see where they connect. Once you’ve thought of the stories you want to share, be sure to gather supporting data that shows your impact. This will help your interviewer understand not just your overall achievements, but how big of an impact you made." Learn more about...

What a moment for AI in Shopping! I'm thrilled to announce powerful new AI-powered updates to our shopping experience in Search, designed to truly transform how shoppers discover and buy. Try on billions of clothing items online with a single photo! Our virtual try-on tech now lets you see how garments might look on you in moments. In fact, I found the dress I wore to Google I/O today using the try on tool 📸If you’re in the US, try it out in Search Labs today! And there’s a lot more coming - Shopping in AI Mode will help consumers discover, research, and narrow down products seamlessly. And when the price of the item drops below your target, confirm the purchase details with just one “tap” and Search will be able to securely buy it for you with Google Pay. So proud of our incredible team ❤️ https://lnkd.in/gwt2s6jn source https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7333583008857296896

What an honor to represent my team on stage at two of our biggest product innovation events of the year: Google I/O and Google Marketing Live! 1️⃣ At I/O, we shared how AI Mode will bring together Gemini capabilities with our Shopping Graph to help people as they shop on Search. We also announced two super helpful AI-powered features for shoppers: Try it on to let people see how clothes might look on them, and once they’ve found something they like, the agentic checkout feature to get it at the price they want. 2️⃣ Then at GML, I spoke about how these new shopping features as well as ads in AI Overviews and ads in AI Mode help connect people to businesses — from inspiration and discovery to consideration and purchase. We also shared many AI-powered updates inspired by feedback we heard from businesses, including AI Max for Search to unlock next-level performance, creative generation tools powered by Imagen and Veo, new agentic capabilities in Google Ads, and so much more. #GoogleIO #...

Meet Rafael, a Software Engineer in our Google Brazil office who describes his days as filled with “developing features, coding, testing and collaborating.” “As someone with low vision, Google provides all the resources I need to perform my job. For me, the screen reader and magnifier are enough, but I could also request a Braille display if I needed. I also enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the Brazil office, conveniently located inside a mall, which is very handy.” On top of highlighting the importance of foundational engineering skills, his advice for aspiring Googlers is to, “Keep studying and living more experiences.” Learn what #LifeAtGoogle in Brazil is all about → goo.gle/3D9UFTd source https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7327823399941001217

Meet Okwus, a Mountain View-based technical recruiter at Google. Okwus has worked at Google for more than 8 years, and in that time he's developed scores of great advice for candidates applying to our technical roles. When asked for one of his top pieces of advice, Okwus advised candidates to brush up on their quantitative skills. "Counting and probability problems surround us. Spend some time before the interview refreshing your memory or learning the essentials of elementary probability theory and combinatorics." Zooming out, Okwus was also able to share his more general guidance for the interview process. “You should be able to verbalize and check any assumptions to ensure they are reasonable. This involves asking clarifying questions if you don’t understand the problem or need more information. Our engineers are looking to see how you engage the problem. Additionally, be sure to test your own code and ensure it’s easily readable without bugs. Find problems, write the...

Google Voice gets support for three way calling and a refreshed in-call user interface

What’s changing We’re pleased to introduce two significant updates for Google Voice: support for three way calling and an overall enhanced, redesigned in-call user interface : Three way calling makes it easier to connect callers onward with more relevant parties or loop in additional parties to keep the conversation moving.
