Preparing your resume/CV
We appreciate your interest in job opportunities at Google and hope we can simplify the process of applying with a few helpful suggestions.

The first step on the road to working at Google is submitting your resume/CV. It's important that your resume/CV accurately reflects your skills, experience and capabilities. If you graduated from a university within the last five years, include a copy of your transcripts (unofficial is okay), a list showing individual coursework completed and grades received, as well as the overall grade average. Please note that all resume/CVs must be submitted in English.

Submitting a resume/CV - General Information
To make it easier for us to determine where you might best fit within our organization, you can take a few simple steps to help us understand your qualifications.

PDF, HTML, or Microsoft Word documents or text formats are acceptable or you can submit using plain text format.
All resume/CV and related materials (transcripts, etc.) should be submitted in English.
Only send essential personal information and be sure to include your name and how to contact you in the resume/CV not just your cover letter. Include your email, phone, and residence address. Do NOT include your gender, date of birth, age, family status, or personal identification numbers. It isn't necessary to include military service you may have performed, unless it reflects some special achievements or accomplishments that you feel illustrate your qualifications for the job.
Educational Background
Your resume/CV should accurately reflect your academic achievements and accomplishments.

Your resume/CV should show all post-secondary institutions attended, degrees conferred, and a cumulative grade point average (if available) for each degree received.
Only report your secondary and university level education; do NOT include elementary schooling. However, if you completed a "year abroad" programme as part of your pre-university education, feel free to include this in your resume/CV.
Provide a brief description of any important projects you completed as part of your coursework.
Your Work Experience
You may be fresh out of a university, or have substantial work experience and a history of accomplishments. Either way, we want to know what skills you've acquired along the way. We'll look closely at the work experience section of your resume/CV so the information you provide here is very important.

List your experience and projects completed, accomplishments, etc. by your position with each employer.
We also want to see concise, important details on your specific accomplishments and the impact your efforts had on your company.
If you worked while attending a university, either during the summer or concurrent with your course work, be sure mention this even if it isn't specifically related to a potential job at Google.
Additional Information
Here at Google, we value talent and intelligence, group spirit and diversity, creativity and idealism. Googlers range from former neurosurgeons and puzzle champions to alligator wrestlers and Lego maniacs. Tell us what makes you unique!

Include the names and contact information of 2-3 references. These can include faculty advisors, co-workers, managers, or others who can talk knowledgeably about your skills and abilities. We don't need copies of any written references you already have.
Be sure to include any awards you've received, articles you've published, or conference presentations you've given. We don't need to see copies of any awards or publications, just a reference to them
