Few things have changed as much as looking for a job. In a way, it’s all Google’s fault. We’ve gone from an information-scarce world, in which the hardest thing was finding jobs you might be right for, to an information-rich world in which the hardest thing is standing out from the hordes of people who might also be right.
And yet, there are people who seem to thrive in the new employment marketplace. We’ve all seen them—the ones who land great job after great job. And we see the ones—sometimes the same ones—who rise through the corporate hierarchy as if their careers were filled with helium. Once we get over the intense pangs of envy these overachievers engender deep within our breasts, the natural thought is, How do I become one of them?
I said it’s all Google’s fault, so it’s only fair that the answer lies over at the Googleplex as well. The guest in this is Mike Junge. He’s Google’s senior recruiter and the author of a new book entitled Purple Squirrel: Stand Out, Land Interviews, and Master the Modern Job Market. He joins us by phone from his office in Mountain View, California, where it’s 8 a.m. there. Mike, good morning, and welcome to the podcast.
