3. Use the Tips to Get Hired:

One of the former Google Hiring Manager, Matthew Carpenter-Arevalo gives ‘ten tips for getting hired at Google’ in his blog at brazencareerist.com. He remarks that the first way is to ‘answer the question you’re asked.’  Continuing with his point, he says ‘don’t impose your agenda but pay attention to the embedded clues in the interview questions.’ He reminds that it is important to expose your thought process and don’t be defensive, instead ask for clarification if you need. The very tricky situation is when you are asked, ‘why you want to work at Google?’

Your in-depth conversation about the product and strategy can help you to pass through the interview in an extent. It is better to describe yourself through great stories which illustrate your powerful characteristics. Being questioned can help you only 50 percentages in the interview while asking questions to the interviewer will lend other 50 percentage to shine.  Carpenter-Arevalo says that giving satisfactory answers for every question cannot be remarkable than giving a different answer which he had never heard before. Demonstrating your deep passion and enthusiasm while talking about the product can crack your toughest interview.
