The tech major receives 70,000 to 1 lakh applications in a week alone, out of which only 144 people get selected, he added. This means the chances of an applicant getting selected is a mere 0.002%.
“Every year, when I don’t hear back, I check what’s wrong with me. After a certain point, I thought I didn’t have a degree from a reputed design college, which could be one of the reasons. I don’t have control over that, but I have control over improving my portfolio and resume. So after several failed attempts, here I am,” he said, and gave tips for millions of aspirants looking to bag a job at Google.
