I was contacted via a careers platform and asked to send in my resume for that specific position. A phone interview was scheduled, which was on time. Questions were asked mainly about my CV, i.e. previous work experience, grades at university, extracurricular activities. With regard to Google I was asked what I thought the job was about, if I could describe AdWords. At the end of the interview I was told that I would be invited to an on-site interview.

I applied online before Christmas and was first contacted in about 2 weeks after application. First i had a phone screening with the recruiter, who was very nice person. He asked about my CV, my experience and skills. Then i had another phone interview with someone from the team - this time it was more about the industry (marketing, AdWords...). Then in about a week i contacted the recruiter and he said ive done well and the want me to come to Dublin for another round of interviews. They took care of everything (flights, hotel) so i just flew to Dublin offices and had another 3 interviews with people from the team. I thought i did good, but they didnt make me an offer - although they said i can try again in about a year (should i gain more experience in leading people). Google wants leadership experience even if you dont apply for a job where you will be leading a team...Still it was very good experience and i recommend trying to get through this process.
