News and notes from Google Down Under
Google Australia at MGSM
Friday, May 25, 2007
Posted by Jared Evans, Account Coordinator
Despite the GPS's best efforts to send us into the depths of Chatswood's woodlands (we should have checked
Google Maps
first), a team of Googlers arrived at
MGSM
last week to present at a careers information session for MBA students and alumni.
(Google was last week named the
No. 1 preferred destination for US MBA students
and we hope to emulate that in Australia!)
The aim of the evening was to promote the many
career opportunities
available at Google Australia and to create awareness of the nature of our operations here. Australian Googler #1, Kate Vale, Head of Sales and Operations, outlined Google Australia's foundations and gave an insight into our activities in Australia, our company culture and our aspirations for the future. The key message for the evening? "We've got a long way to go toward achieving our
mission
. We need your help to get there."
The audience of full time "MBAers", managers and professionals studying part-time yielded many job-seekers, which our recruitment team are quite excited about!
During the networking session afterwards, the attendees revealed a very keen interest in what Google Australia does beyond search, consumer products and providing an advertising platform. Many were pleasantly surprised to learn that Google provides
business solutions
.
We are extremely pleased with the positive feedback from those that attended and will endeavour to bring the presentation to similar arenas in the near future.
Thank you to all of you who gave your time last week. If you have any further further
feedback
to add, we'd be very interested to hear it!
