BANGALORE: Do you aspire to land a job at Google?  Branded as the best company in the world to work for, Google is idiosyncratic, fun loving, lively and creative place to be in. That is why talent is racking over each other to get through the door and arrive to work on a pogo stick. Among the 3 million job applications Google receives each year but surprisingly it accepts just 0.2 percent or 7, 000 people. Google! Why so serious? 

You will be amazed to know that good grades, high IQ or being successful at your current position is not enough to land a job at this renowned organization. Good grades can be a plus, but it doesn’t guarantee a smooth sailing during the screening process.

In fact, Google has a very uncommon way of hiring smart and curious people, who it thinks have strong learning ability and can generally find the right answers to unfamiliar questions. Google keeps its hiring protocol constant and smooth so each Googler knows exactly what to look for in candidates.

In order of priority, those include general cognitive ability, leadership, ‘Googleyness’ and knowledge of the role.
