Google BOLD internship 2015

<p>Yup, I got the email as well. Hopefully we will all get the chance to interview.</p>

<p>Question, if you live near the site you requested would you get an in-person interview or an interview via google plus? Just wondering if any of you guys know the answer or have read about something related to it. </p>

<p>In other Google internships, they usually do a phone interview first; then, if you pass that, an on-campus interview. I would say no, but that’s only my guess.</p>

<p>Hi all! Applied and am anxiously awaiting more news- in the “What happens next?” email that they sent out, they mentioned that if you don’t hear back again in December, that means you’re “still in process and under consideration for one of our open roles.” </p>

<p>Does this mean that they’ll be sending a whole round of rejection emails by the end of December? If we don’t hear anything, does that mean we should be hopeful that we might be asked to interview? </p>

<p>Thought that was kind of confusing wording, wondering how you all interpreted it. Good luck to all! </p>

<p>After rummaging through my spam email lol, i finally found that “What Happens Next” email. I just interpreted as a happy holidays email, calming every applicant into not thinking about it just yet/ allowing everyone to enjoy their Christmas and New years worry-free lol. But that’s just my opinion.</p>

<p>But seriously, happy holidays everyone!</p>

Hey everyone! I recently got the “happy new year” email from university recruiting saying that they are in the midst of reviewing apps, which was exciting to hear but I was wondering if anyone has received an invite to interview yet?!

I haven’t heard of anyone getting any sort of real response yet- I’m dying to know something!

I got an email saying that I got an interview this past Monday. The interview is scheduled for next week.

@yalatino When did you apply, if you don’t mind me asking, and what area did you apply for?

Applied back in late November. Applied for sales but I’m interviewing for a marketing position. I don’t think when you apply has any bearing on when they get back to you though. I did get a referral though so that might have made things go a little quicker

@Yalatino‌ That makes sense since I applied in Early October and have not heard back yet. However, I applied for a design type area so I think it will take longer since a lot of designers want to work for Google. The referral probably sped it up a little bit, boy do I wish I had a referral. :smile:

I, too, received an email this week saying I received an interview and now have one scheduled for next week. I applied through the internal referral program at the end of October. My first choice was in Marketing but I received an interview for SMB Sales.

Did anyone else apply for a design type area for the internship? Or is everyone just in for the sales and marketing?

Does the BOLD program have a design position available? Sorta thought it was just for business-focused roles

Well, it does not necessarily have design internships for this but it does have marketing which sometimes includes designing marketing material. Plus, in the description of the BOLD internship program it says you can be in any major, not just business focused.

@Seneca17‌ + @amnesiac99‌ Some of us have already heard back, but they’ll be reaching out to people over the next 2 months or even longer in some cases.

@Pitman42390‌ Here’s the job description from Google for the marketing position:

The area: Marketing

Know the user. Know the magic. Connect the two. At its core, marketing at Google starts with technology and ends with the user, bringing both together in unconventional ways. Our job is to demonstrate how Google’s products solve the world’s problems–from the everyday to the epic, from the mundane to the monumental. And we approach marketing in a way that only Google can–changing the game, redefining the medium, making the user the priority, and ultimately, letting the technology speak for itself.

The role:

As a Marketing manager, you are a fully dedicated business leader, shaping the future of one of our many Google products. Whether you’re on a consumer product (like Gmail, Search, Maps, Chrome, Android) or a business product (AdWords, AdSense, DoubleClick, Analytics), you take part in a complete marketing experience as you lead every facet of the product’s journey. From determining positioning, naming, competitive analysis, feature prioritization and external communications, you help shape the voice of the product and help it grow a loyal consumer base. This means you work with a cross-functional team across sales, corporate communications, legal, webmasters, product development, engineering and more. The role enables you to shape the product development process, organize product launches from beginning to end and form future marketing strategy.

Responsibilities:

  • Responsible for defining and executing go-to-market strategies and organizational coordination for new feature launches. Includes positioning, naming, external communications, competitive analysis, and feature prioritization.
  • Develop messaging, collateral, events, and sales strategies aimed at acquiring advertisers and publishers, increasing our engagement with them and measuring the efficacy of such programs.
  • Through quantitative methods, models and research you will help Google better understand consumer and advertiser behavior to provide important feedback back into the product and strategic development cycle.
  • Determine return on investment for projects.

Example past projects include:

  • Revamping the Google Student Ambassador program and organizing the first ambassador summit
  • Coordinating the marketing aspects of the US launch of Google Map Maker
  • Developing Display Network case studies for Google’s “Watch this Space” campaign

@Yalatino‌ Thanks for the description on the Marketing Position. I was not sure if that included design. However, the overall description for the BOLD program says you can be in any major, not just business focused. you just have to qualify with the minimum requirements.

Hello all!
I applied for this internship back in December, I wanted to know if anyone had heard back from the People Operations sect of the company yet. Good luck all and start the semester strong lol

@Yalatino‌ How did your interview go? I did mine this week as well.

@MisterB7K‌ they went well from what I could tell. I’ll let you know what they say. how did yours go?

Does anyone know (roughly) when they plan to get back to interviewees? My interviewers said “a few days” but in Google parlance, that could be an eon.

It’s tough to gauge interview performance because the interviewers just seemed to agree with most of my responses. How were your experiences, Yalatino and others?
