Process

My wife applied for a position at Google for me, and I didn't know about it until a Google recruiter called. The funny part was that the initial conversation went like this:

"This is [Recruiter Name] from Google, following up with your job application..." "I don't think I applied." "Yes, you did..."

Well, as the saying goes, when Google recruiters call, you say yes.

"Oh, yes, yes. I did..."

The conversation with the recruiter led to an onsite interview. I wasn't very well prepared, but I was given feedback one week after the onsite that I could apply again in a year.
