Ask HN: Does Google rummage through the Gmail account of job-seekers?
If you apply for a job at Google, will they read your personal Gmail account to get more information about you as a candidate?
I imagine google has a tight audit of who accessed emails, and when, and that those people need a good reason to do so. Poking around to see what emails a job seeker has sent or received is not one of those things.
I guess Google needs to work on their image if you seriously think there is any chance that Google is reading your private email because you applied for a job there.
