[nylug-talk] Two comments to Google

[Joshua Zeidner]

Chris,

   Google recently came to Phoenix and there was a very similar reaction
from the local talent here.  Many very smart people where really
disappointed when Google didn't take notice of them.  I can tell you that
Google is very secretive in their hiring and purchasing practices for the
main reason that whatever criteria they do define is subject to immediate
exploitation.  I'm not sure if reapplying is going to get you very far.  I
know Python goes a long way around there, but I tend to think that attitude
and personality type weigh in heavily.  Good luck in your job search.
