The Google Resume: How to Prepare for a Career and Land a Job at Apple, Microsoft, Google, or any Top Tech Company by Gayle Laakmann McDowell

5.0

Great book for people who are inexperienced with US tech job ecosystem. 13 chapters cover a lot of material. First chapters focus on which courses to take that’ll help you land a dream job at tech giant. Chapters in the middle focus on application and interview process. Last chapters focus on steering your career in the right way to land a dream job. Although hiring process is extremely stressful and diverse, the author does a tremendous job helping applicants focus on really important stuff. For example, whatever question recruiter asks, keep in mind that recruiters want to know two things when they pick up your resume:
1. Where would you fit at our company?
2. Would you do a good job?
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It’s well structured, easy to read and full of practical advice.
