Google Intern: Be Alone and Be Pushy. Charming Advice from a Digital Ms Manners
August 4, 2020
Working for the GOOG does not involve being “there.” Nor does working from the GOOG require getting paid anything or very much. What else does a Google intern have to do to be an apprentice?
“To Be a Google Intern in 2020” explains the Google’s blog that writing about being an intern is part of the deal. Thus, the explanation of working from home, over communicating, running a personal PR program, and demonstrating “initiative” are Google-certified ingredients.
The article explains how different Google interns experience interning. Among the highlights are:
- Friendliness. “Everyone is super friendly.”
- Video chat. “Sometimes a three minute video chat can be ore useful than… email.”
- Knowing “you.” According to an MBA intern, “Google really wants to get to know the full you.”
Are interns better than full time equivalents? Maybe. Since Alphabet Google has come in last in the financial horse race among Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google, interns may be the next big cost reduction thing at the online ad company. An intern at the Google can earn the equivalent of $80,000 per year, according to Business Insider.
