Interviewing at Google #

Someone recently asked me if I had any tips about interviewing at Google. Surprisingly enough, even though our jobs page mentions all the great perks and things you could be doing at Google, it doesn't say much about the process. However, I did come across this "What to expect from your Google interview" page created by our Zurich office. Although it's nominally aimed at European candidates, nearly all the information contained within is applicable to all our offices. In addition to emailing that person a link, I'm blogging about it, so that others may benefit as well.

Date & Time Google Homepage Module #

Date & Time module The sample Date & Time module for the Google Personalized Homepage is pretty, but it takes up a lot of room. My mom (hi mom!) wanted something that was a bit more compact, with an always visible calendar, and the ability to view months in the past/future. I've whipped up a modified version of the original module that does this. It's also available at the excellent (unofficial) Google Modules site.

To install it:

  • Visit your Personalized Homepage
  • Click the "Add Content" link in the upper-left corner
  • Type in the URL http://persistent.info/modules/datetime.xml in the "Create a Section" form and press "Go"
