I would really love to work at google. It would be amazing to work in a company where everyone feels so positively about their work. It's not just these 2 guys, a lot of their staff, not just the engineers, actually find fulfillment with their work there

These two seem so exuberant about their jobs - it would be great to be part of a company where everyone has that same level of spiritedness. People at my company are so jaded!

The only obstacle of course is getting hired! There are so many talented individuals applying to Google every year. How is a person to stand out and be noticed amongst a huge pool of extremely creative, bright applicants?
