I applied to attend the ACM Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing. Part of the application was the submission of a résumé.

A few days after I submitted my résumé, I found I could not attend the conference. However, a few months later, I received an email from a Google Recruiter encouraging me to apply to the Engineering Practicum Internship, the application for which was due three days later.

I quickly jotted down some responses to the essay questions, assuming I would not be selected for further consideration. A few days later, I received an email asking about my availability for an interview. There were two back-to-back 45-minute technical interviews.

Part of the interview process involved signing a non-disclosure agreement which prohibits discussing details of the actual interviews. A week later, I was asked to submit a transcript and verify my eligibility to work in the United States.

The next day, my recruiter called to offer me a position and walked me through the steps to accept it.
