Yesterday, I speculated about
what Google wants in an applicant for a job. But on 27 February 2015, at 3pm,
Dr Will Uther, from Google Sydney, is visiting the Australian National University to tell us exactly what Google is looking for in staff.

CECS SEMINAR SERIES
DATE: 2015-02-27
TIME: 15:00:00 - 16:00:00 ...
ABSTRACT:
I interview a range of people applying for jobs at
Google. There are some common mistakes that seem to be made by PhD
students who are applying from Australian Universities (+ NICTA) for
software engineering positions at Google. I'd like to try and point out
some of what Google is looking for so that PhD students can do better in
their interviews.
