NYT: How to Get a Job at Google

Thomas L. Friedman in the NYT: How to Get a Job at Google part 1 and part 2

writes about criteria used by Google to hire personnel. They stress the importance of cognitive ability, leadership, humility and ownership.

Your degree is not a proxy for your ability to do any job. The world only cares about — and pays off on — what you can do with what you know (and it doesn’t care how you learned it). And in an age when innovation is increasingly a group endeavor, it also cares about a lot of soft skills — leadership, humility, collaboration, adaptability and loving to learn and re-learn. This will be true no matter where you go to work.
