How to Get a Job at Google

From The New York Times MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — LAST June, in an interview with Adam Bryant of The Times, Laszlo Bock, the senior vice president of people operations for Google — i.e., the guy in charge of hiring for one of the world’s most successful companies — noted that Google had determined that “G.P.A.’s are worthless as a criteria for hiring, and test scores are worthless. … We found that they don’t predict anything.” He also noted that the “proportion of people without any college education at Google has increased over time” — now as high as 14 percent on some teams.

人生各自精彩

[youtube &w=640&h=360] 今天也繼續跑著 每個人都是跑者 時鐘無法暫停 時間往前不停流逝, 這是一場不能回頭的馬拉松比賽 邊跟對手競爭著 邊在時間洪流這條直路上跑著 想比別人跑得更快 相信前方有美好未來 相信一定會有終點 人生是一場馬拉松 但真是如此嗎? 人生就是這回事嗎? 不對 人生不是一場馬拉松 這比賽誰定的? 終點誰定的? 該跑去哪才好? 該往哪邊跑才對? 有屬於自己的路 自己的路? 真的有嗎? 我不知道 我們還沒看過的世界 大到無法想像 沒錯 偏離正軌吧 煩惱著 苦惱著 一直跑到最後 失敗又怎樣 繞點路也沒差 也不用跟人比 路不只一條 終點不只一個 有多少人就有多少可能 人生各自精彩 誰說人生是一場馬拉松的?

Warren Buffett: The three things I look for in a person

“Somebody once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if you don’t have the first, the other two will kill you. You think about it; it’s true. If you hire somebody without [integrity], you really want them to be dumb and lazy.” ― Warren Buffett
