How I got an internship at Google | My BOLD application/interview experience + advice

[@lillianzhang_]

I posted a new video! The resume that got me into Google (as a business/marketing intern) | resume tips & advice: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ina0lKpubLiMlZI

[@fairooz6312]

I was thinking of applying for the internship in my first year but I'll be a full-time college student. How do I do the internship as well as manage my college? I was talking to another Google intern the other day (she's from India) and she told me it's like a 9-5 job.

Hi Lilian, just wondering if the internship is only available for US students or is it available worldwide?

[@lillianzhang_]

I believe BOLD is US based, but you should def keep a lookout for roles based in your country

[@nintendogalaxymaniac]

Hey Lillian, loved this video. I applied to the 2022 BOLD internship and am wondering if BOLD is the main business internship in the US? It states that it’s for underrepresented groups in the tech industry, which has me wondering if there are other business internships coming up in the US for Google. Was BOLD the only option during your application cycle?

[@lillianzhang_]

Yes BOLD is the only business option, but they take people from a lot of different backgrounds!

[@nintendogalaxymaniac]

Lillian Zhang thanks!

[@khanhmai568]

I am a sophomore who really interests in Marketing! I'll definitely shoot my shot for the BOLD internship this year. I was looking for resources to help with prep and came across your video. It is super helpful to know the characteristics! Thank you for great content!

[@lillianzhang_]

Glad you found it useful!

[@USALifeDiaries]

Where was this held? Is it available in multiple locations across USA including Seattle?

[@RealEricShim]

LOL the cold messages at the beginning had me dying. Great concise overview of the process Lillian, keep it up with the content! :)

[@lillianzhang_]

HAHAH thanks eric!!

[@mianreece]

It says cover letter not required but do you recommend we do one anyway??

[@lillianzhang_]

I don’t think cover letters are necessary at all so I think you should definitely save your time (and not submit one)

[@ellaregan2163]

Hey, I have been searching for this answer for awhile now, I would love to apply but I will be a senior when the application opens. However, after I graduate I will be attending grad school. From the application it appears that you need to be attending school after the internship ends (ie- Junior entering Senior year) which I technically am but im not sure if that counts. Please let me know your thoughts!

[@akashthorat402]

Great video but did she really say they ask what 10^5 is?? LMAO!

[@gorrilazshocklol2185]

so I have someone who can give me a referral, is that something that I do during the application, and does my referral have to do anything on their part?

[@mianreece]

What was your gpa and what part of your application do you think made you stand out?

[@lillianzhang_]

I’m going to make a video showing what I put on my resume!

[@sairashah3581]

Specific application advice was peak. Will definitely use it. Great videos Lillian!

[@lillianzhang_]

Yay glad it helped! Thanks Saira :))

[@KyleMillis]

Great video! Love the background music, where did you find it?

[@lillianzhang_]

[@richardniu4918]

But liiiiiiiike what if I wanted to apply to Facebook then what?

[@alexandrapinedo5519]

Did they send you a questionnaire before you got an invite to interview ? Does everyone get questionnaires ?

[@lillianzhang_]

I can't speak for everyone, but I did get a questionnaire before my interview invite

[@carlosfernandoalzatevalenc5731]
