Ask HN: Technical skills needed for any Google interview/job?

9 pointscitizenkeys3 comments

I'm considering working at Google. My degree is in business management. I'll be applying for a non-engineering job. However, I'm sure I'll need some technical skills for an interview.

So here's my question: What technical skills will I absolutely need for any interview or job at Google?

You best bet would be the job description for the job you're applying for. You could also check out glassdoor.com to see what previous interviewers have encountered.

I'm a Googler, but I am offering my personal opinion - at a high level, you should be a passionate and knowledgeable user of technology. This means you're a power user of some tools, and knows how to leverage the right tech tools to get your job done. Also - always think about how to "put the user first".

I still need to submit a resume. How do I translate your comment onto a resume that could lead to an interview?
