Gayle Laakmann

After three internships at Microsoft, one internship at Apple, and three years at Google, Gayle Laakmann decided that she'd spent enough time at the biggies. She left Google with best wishes to her co-workers and went out to explore the world. She spent six weeks in Argentina and three weeks in Asia. Gayle is now back in Seattle exploring the startup scene.

Projects & Activities

Gayle Laakmann spends her time working on CareerCup and Seattle Anti-Freeze. CareerCup is a source for technical interviews, job postings, interview training, and more. Seattle Anti-Freeze is a company Gayle founded a year ago that organizes parties and other events for people in their 20s and 30s.

Applying to Google. Or just stealing food.

Recently a few friends of mine have applied to Google - without letting me refer them. It makes me cry inside. :-(

So, I'll make the following statements:
  • If I know you (or you know someone I know), and you want to apply to Google, send me your resume. I'll submit it for you.
  • If I don't know you, you're welcome to send me your resume anyway. If your resume looks good, I'd have no problems referring you. No promises though :-).
Also, lunch!
  • If you know me or anyone I know: Yes, we have free food. It's tasty and free for guests as well. Join me!
I'm in the Google office in Seattle/Kirkland. Email address is at the bottom of the page. Hope to hear from you soon :-)

    Do you think a employee reference would be any better than going through the career website ? apart from typing in the profile details over and over again ?
    I have got a call from Google couple of times but never have gone beyond the 3rd ph screen. Also, what I hear from the recruiter that I cannot apply for the same position withing a year, chances are, not just me but a lot of people who are pretty good to loose interest.

    I am going to apply for a media coordinator postion. I have never applied to google before and currently i am in radio.

    The job description for that job wasn't very technical. I am very passionate about the internet and "new-media." I would love to get into Google and grow into all of that stuff.

    I do have a lot of media experience, service experience (Verizon Wireless) and I am passionate and hungry to learn and work.

    If you are still updating your blog and you read this please contact me. I would love to get your opinion on my resume etc..

    Thanks!

    I am interested in Google, but there's just a form application process, without a human to contact. After the application is submitted, what if a recruiter never gets into contact? Is there a person to follow up with? Where should one send an email? How long should it take for someone to contact you?
