I don't normally get excited over job applications, but this one surprised me.
everyone knows how picky Google is in their hiring process. early this week, i applied for a data technician job located in atlanta (maintaining and installing their linux server farm). i dismissed it as one of those unobtainable jobs.
today, i received email from google for more specific information on my linux experience. woohoo... i'm being considered for the position!

my first dream was to race AMA superbike. that was obtained
next was working at Bell Labs. that too was successful
lastly, working for Disney was another goal. this is where i'm at now.
but Google? woah... Karma has been good to me...

i wonder if i should tell em about my linux warez sitez or my DDOS crew that took down many a sites.

WHOAH.... Congrats and good luck!! Seriously, that's really, really incredible that they even contacted you back!

Sending good vibes your way...

Congrats d00d leave out about teh DDoS mention instead knowledge of C++

I had a interview with them last year, but they were wanting someone out of school and with more experience than I have. You should be well qualified

Good luck

Working for Google is one of my dreams but I kinda went to school for something completely unrelated Google is an awesome company to work for especially if you get to work at one of there think tanks. As far as the black hat stuff goes I wouldn't actively tell them but if they ask I would just because Google has a reputation for wanting the best regardless of umm 'history' within reason. All that stuff just shows you know more about the other side of security than most.

cool man! to ya and keep us posted!

I know someone that works at google. Pay isn't as well, but they got good perks.

So if you work for Google... where do you go to search for things?

You know those perks Trip mentioned... one of them is a team of midgets that goes out and searches all the local libraries for any information you are looking for... Verizon has 'the network' and Google has... midgets.

What?.... You a midget?

I'd go for it. you know the good and bad side of security, so you could have some real fun with that.

When I was stationed in colorado, I moonlighted at Apple Computer, Inc for a while. That is the reason while to this day, I will never own a Apple computer....


Nothing to do with Google, but it made me think about my experience!

Did Apple have midgets?

Yeah like you can bring your dog to work!

Get a job with Microsoft then ya get paid to hack n steal stuff

Yeah good luck, and congrats!
