Google’s interviews are famously challenging, but Erica highlights the STAR method as a key tool for success. “When interviewing at Google, I always recommend using the STAR method to structure your responses.

When it comes to crafting a resume, Erica stresses aligning it with the job description. “Study the role you’re applying for – especially the minimum qualifications – and tailor your resume to reflect what the company is looking for,” she suggests. Understanding the nuances of the role and aligning your experience accordingly can significantly boost your chances.
Finally, she encourages candidates to focus on networking. “If you’re interested in a role, use social media to find professionals already in that position. Look at their career trajectory, the activities they’re involved in, and their previous job titles. Use that information to guide your own search,” Erica explains. Networking can offer invaluable insights and connections to help secure your dream role.
