From the Back Cover
“The Google Résumé is a comprehensive guide to getting into the top tech companies. McDowell shows applicants how to create an effective résumé, how to prepare for interviews, how to negotiate an offer, and how to perform well on the job. This is truly the ‘bible’ of the tech hiring process.” —Stephanie Jacobs, former recruiter, Google

“This book takes you behind the scenes at companies like Amazon and Microsoft with real-life stories from candidates, interviewers, and recruiters. Their experiences will show you how to position yourself for success. An excellent read for candidates at all stages.” —Venise Cunningham, Recruiting Coordinator, Amazon, and formerly Microsoft

“During my time at Microsoft, Google, and Facebook, I’ve seen even the most brilliant candidates fumble. Some get too nervous, some don’t prepare adequately, and some lack the right experience. The Google Résumé addresses each of these issues and helps candidates develop a more compelling appli-cation. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone pursuing a tech career.” —Peter Wilson, former engineering director, Google and Microsoft; consultant, Facebook

There may be no silver bullet for success, but this book is about as close as it gets.” —Trey Williams, Software Engineer, Google, and formerly Microsoft

Learn how companies like Microsoft approach hiring and use these lessons to land your dream job.
