This is a question from Quora.

How talented do you have to be to get an interview with Google?

中文翻译

"要获得与谷歌的面试,需要有多大的天赋?"

  • talented:有天赋的
  • get an interview:获得面试
  • Google:谷歌

I’ve helped many people get into Google and other top tier tech companies. Especially software engineers in the entire spectrum of 0 to 40 years experience. Let me tell you with confidence that you don’t have to be as naturally talented as you’re thinking. As long as you are a sincere worker, who can focus on solving problems, that’s all they are looking for.

中文翻译

"我已经帮助了许多人进入谷歌和其他顶级科技公司,尤其是软件工程师,无论是有0年经验还是有40年经验的。让我自信地告诉你,你不必像你想象的那样天赋出众。只要你是一个真诚的工作者,能够专注于解决问题,这就是他们寻找的一切。"

  • helped:帮助
  • especially: 尤其的
  • people:人们
  • Google:谷歌
  • top tier:顶级
  • tech companies:科技公司
  • software engineers:软件工程师
  • entire spectrum:整个范围
  • experience:经验
  • naturally talented:天赋出众、
  • as long as: 只要
  • sincere worker:真诚的工作者
  • focus on:专注于
  • solving problems:解决问题

Why? First of all, there is no good way to measure talent. In popular culture, we measure it with IQ. But there is also a large body of research which says that IQ is not correlated with success. Here is a relevant link for your reference. But, even if you don’t believe this research; how do you decipher talent by looking at someone’s resume? Resumes are usually not very well written and often don’t tell the truth either.

中文翻译

"为什么?首先,没有一种好的方法来衡量天赋。在流行文化中,我们用智商来衡量它。但也有大量的研究表明智商与成功没有相关性。以下是一个相关链接供您参考。但即使您不相信这项研究,您如何通过查看某人的简历来解读他们的天赋呢?简历通常写得不太好,而且经常也不诚实。"

  • measure:衡量
  • talent:天赋
  • popular culture:流行文化
  • IQ:智商
  • either: 而且
  • correlated with:与...相关
  • success:成功
  • relevant link:相关链接
  • usually: 通常
  • reference:参考
  • believe:相信
  • research:研究
  • decipher:解读
  • resume:简历
  • written:写得
  • tell the truth:说实话

The second reason Google doesn’t insist on only interviewing talented people, is because they hire massively on scale. i.e., thousands a month, world over. If they insist on interviewing only people with talent, they won’t ever be able to hire and push great products out fast.

中文翻译

"Google不坚持只面试有才能的人的第二个原因是因为他们大规模招聘,即每个月在全球招聘成千上万人。如果他们坚持只面试有才能的人,他们将永远无法快速招聘并推出优秀的产品。"

  • Google:谷歌
  • insist on:坚持
  • interviewing:面试
  • talented people:有才能的人
  • hire:招聘
  • massively on scale:大规模招聘
  • thousands a month:每个月成千上万人
  • world over:全球范围内
  • push out:推出
  • great products:优秀的产品

Third reason: Google does need people with high IQ but not every position per se needs high IQ. People who are diligent and have the right approach are also critical to any big company’s success. In fact, that is how large companies are built. There are maybe 10% of positions which may need innate talent to be successfully producing right output, but the other 90% just requires sincerity and dedication to solving tough problems. Talent is massively overrated in such positions.

中文翻译

"第三个原因是:谷歌确实需要智商高的人,但并不是每个职位都需要高智商。勤奋和正确的方法对于任何大公司的成功也至关重要。实际上,这就是大公司是如何建立的。也许有10%的职位可能需要天生的才能才能成功产生正确的输出,但其他90%只需要真诚和专注于解决困难问题。在这些职位中,才能被严重高估了。"

  • high IQ:高智商
  • every position per se:每个职位本身
  • diligent:勤奋的
  • right approach:正确的方法
  • critical to:关键于
  • big company’s success:大公司的成功
  • large companies:大公司
  • innate talent:天生的才能
  • producing right output:产生正确的输出
  • sincerity:真诚
  • dedication:专注
  • solving tough problems:解决困难问题
  • massively overrated:被严重高估

Finally and most fundamentally, they have great faith in their own interview process. The interview process is rigorous and only selects the best prepared candidates. Interview preparation for Google is a great proxy for your sincerity and dedication to solving tough problems.

The only time they have to use a loose proxy for talent, is when there are just too many applicants and very few positions to fill .e.g., freshers in satellite locations. There are limited fresher openings and if they go out accepting candidate profiles from everywhere, they will never be able to get through the interview process. So they prefer to go to top colleges, which are loose proxies for talent e.g., IITs in India. Even here, if you have a strong referral, you will get interviews regardless of whatever college you went to.

中文翻译

"最后,也是最基本的原因是,他们对自己的面试流程有着极大的信心。面试流程非常严格,只选择最充分准备的候选人。针对谷歌的面试准备是对你解决困难问题的真诚和专注的良好代表。

唯一需要使用松散的才能代理的情况是,申请者太多,可供填补的职位非常少,例如卫星地点的新毕业生。新毕业生的职位有限,如果他们接受来自各地的候选人档案,将无法通过面试流程。因此,他们更喜欢去顶尖学院,这些学院是才能的松散代理,例如印度的IIT。即使在这里,如果你有强大的内部推荐,你将获得面试机会,无论你上的是哪所大学。"

  • great faith:极大的信心
  • interview process:面试流程
  • rigorous:严格的
  • selects:选择
  • best prepared candidates:最充分准备的候选人
  • Interview preparation:面试准备
  • sincerity:真诚
  • dedication:专注
  • loose proxy:松散的代理
  • talent:才能
  • applicants:申请者
  • through: 通过
  • freshers:新毕业生
  • satellite locations:卫星地点
  • limited fresher openings:有限的新毕业生职位
  • top colleges:顶尖学院
  • strong referral:强大的内部推荐

Summary: Nix the thought of talent. It’s a very limiting thought nor is it supported by research. Focus instead on making your profile presentable and more importantly, on preparing for the interview process.

Do let us know if you need help, our staff are ex-Google recruiters and they understand how interviewees succeed. Our typical audience is software engineers with anywhere from 0 to 40 years of experience, with a strong desire to uplevel their careers in a variety of ways. We have a lot of confidence in our methodology. Those who follow it even approximately to the tee succeed. Otherwise we’ll refund your fees.

We have cohorts starting every 2–3 weeks, but remain booked much in advance. If you’re interested, then please do plan early!
