Synopsis

The Google Resume was for people from all industries who crave one of the coveted positions at these top tech firms. It instructs students on what to study and how to prepare, and what career paths to seek, and it explains to job seekers, both technical and non-technical, how to make themselves stand out from the hordes of other candidates seeking jobs at a tech company. This follow up is built from The Google Resume but content will be refreshed and edited. It will include new chapters on startups, hot jobs (product management, data science, etc., and candidate profiles.
