BAN USER- 2 Answers Looking for a study buddy in Portland, OR area
I have a technical phone interview for Google on the 6th of April and I want to make sure I am prepared.

I'm a recent grad (really, really recent, I literally graduated today, a couple of hours ago).
I need to study quite a bit so I feel comfortable, because I tend to be a nervous interviewee.
The thing is, I'm so used to studying in groups in college. I don't like studying by myself! It feels lonely, plus I am more focused when I am working together with someone.
If you are also studying for an interview in the Portland area, maybe we can meet at the PSU or downtown library or a coffee shop and work.
P.S.,
I'm really looking to *get things done*. So while breaks are necessary and occasional chit-chat is fine, the objective is not to meet people. The perfect study buddy would be someone who is also motivated.| Flag | PURGE - 7 Answers Google Online Assessment
I got one of those e-mails from the Google Blueprint Team asking me to take an online assessment.

I'm super nervous because the test is timed. Can someone give me some advice on not screwing it up by having a panic attack?
What I really need is a practice test. It's not important that the questions be super relevant or anything, I just need to go through the motions of taking the test before I actually take it so that my nerves don't get the best of me.
I'd also like to know if anyone knows if getting this e-mail means that I passed the initial screening. Does this mean that my resume was selected for this next step? Or is this an automated e-mail that everyone receives. If it does mean that my resume cleared the initial screening, was I likely screened by a human? Or do they simply have a script scanning for specific words. Similarly, will my code assessment be reviewed by a human? Or by a script?| Flag | PURGE
Thank you for your response.
I have a sort of "phone interview" with a recruiter tomorrow. She said it isn't a technical interview, she just wants to get to know me and learn about my "interests and goals" and tell me about what it's like to work at Google. If it goes well, she'll schedule a technical interview for me.
I still haven't taken the online test. I'm honestly nervous to start it, plus I've been sidetracked by work and homework.
It is 60 minutes, 2 questions, both are coding questions, and I can use basically any language. Do you have any idea what would be good preparation for this? I would feel more confident if I could rehearse for it in some way.
Skype might work. What company/position are you studying for?
