Amazing to see you here again ❤️ 😊 U really inspired me to work hard to get into Google and I will surely make it Thank you so much Pls give any advice if you 🙏 Or tips

[@yourfriendintech]

Welcome back! Is there anything specific you’d like advice on?

[@geck1204]

Having G on your resume is a huge booster. And if you can pass the hiring bar there, you can pass a lot of other places. You don't have to worry too much about finding another job.

[@yourfriendintech]

Another thing to consider is that there are a lot of other people who passed the same hiring bar that are also applying for the same job

[@k10633]

Best intro of any day in a life video so far. Loved it. Christopher Nolan who? 😭😂✨🙏🏻 love from india

Thank you! Yeah I can make a video on the topic. What stage of the process are you getting rejected from?

[@user-rw8ei5zz9e]

my resume doesnt even get selected for the intial rounds , it would be great if you could create a series of videos from resume building to how to attend interviews @@yourfriendintech

[@i.e.4427]

Hi Jon. I wanted to ask you for advice on how CS grads and people getting into tech can actually break into the industry these days. I’m sure any insights you can give will help not just me but plenty of others as well. I can’t tell you how many graduates aren’t even getting interviews, myself included.

[@yourfriendintech]

It's a tough market right now. If you are not doing this already, I would recommend seeking out roles specifically catered to new grads, as it's still competitive but less competitive than entry level roles. A good IG account to follow is @jonathanwordsofwisdom, he provides a lot of helpful tips on how to get a job in today's market. Hope that helps!

i was a google TVC in the fiber transport group working in all the major US data centers for 5 1/2 years. Google did not renew my groups contract last May and we were laid off. No reason was given. Now I work as a sub contractor to Ericsson as they laid off all the US field personal that supported the Google metro network sites.

[@yourfriendintech]

I'm sorry to hear that. I wish the tech industry handled the layoffs better; but I hope your transition to your new role is going smoothly

Hi Jon. I am currently having problems with my KZbin account. The videos and content in my account is not refreshing and all my watch history is outdated. How do I get the latest trending videos on KZbin such as technology, entertainment, fashion, gaming, business etc. Can you confirm if my account has been hacked or if my codes have been swapped?

[@yourfriendintech]

Hi Muzimo. You’ll need to go through the proper KZbin support channels for help with your account.

[@ClaireandNanami]

It must be stressful to work at Google when they have layoffs all the time.

[@yourfriendintech]

At one point I was frantically checking my phone first thing every morning to see if I still had a job 🙃

[@ClaireandNanami]

@@yourfriendintech that sounds terrible. I would find it hard to actually get work done if I was afraid of getting laid off. I hope you don't have to go through your day worrying so much in the future. You have been with the company for a while. I hope that and your good performance counts.

Hello, I need your urgent help. Can you notify the relevant department? Google Play has suspended my developer account for no reason. I cannot reach the policy team. Can you help me? I am very upset. My work is fine.

[@yourfriendintech]

I would recommend contacting the relevant teams on Twitter/Instagram DMs for help

Unfortunately, I cannot help you with this. I would recommend contacting support on Twitter/Instagram DMs to get an expedited response

Hi my friend i really like your vlogs it quite give me boost to do hard work and it always reminds me my goal My goal is simple like you i also wanna work at Google like you ...i am in class 12th 😅😅 I know thats pretty early to think all of this... I know that you join Google or i cn say you start working full time from 2016 and its been 7 year you are working....so my question is can you afford a luxury car cost around one hundred thousand dollars ??, like i am just asking cause of curiosity as you are working this much 😅😅

[@yourfriendintech]

Thank you! IMO 12th grade is a great time to think about your career. Use this time to your advantage and figure out what you can do to make progress towards your goals. Can I buy a $100k car? Yes. Would I? No. It’s not a priority for me 🤷‍♂️. I have a few videos on how much money I make and how I manage my money if you’re interested in that topic

funny. so you use an iPhone? thought they would make you use a pixel
