Google has been named the #1 Best Company to Work For by Fortune magazine in 2015, making it a desirable internship site for college students. If you want to work at Google, you need to be a leader, have a great resume and be flexible in a non-traditional work environment, according to Chastity Mills, a university programs specialist for Google’s Atlanta office, who advised Grambling students on how they can score an internship with Google during a workshop on March 19 in the Jacob T. Stewart building.

The resume is the most important piece of the Google application puzzle. Wells advises students to complete resumes in the McCombs resume template, which can be downloaded online, and to pack the resume with examples of leadership skills and activities that have made an impact. Applicants should also leave off an objective and include a hobby section at the end of the resume.

While a hobby section is not standard in resumes, it is exactly the kind of quirkiness that fits in well with Google. Mills warns potential applicants that Google is not a normal workplace by any means. There is less structure, so students must be able to take on new projects and responsibilities quickly.

“Corporate is not college. There is no syllabus. There are no office hours. The quicker you are at jumping into something, the better,” Mills said.
