Interviewing with Google

A new Utah business blogger Pete Abilia has a great post on his site about his 2 days of interviews with Google last year. He turned them down when they offered him a high-paying contract position but no stock and no benefits. Pete will be able to tell his grandchildren someday, \”yeah, Google made me an offer, but I turned them down on the spot.\” Cool.
Pete has one of the most ad-packed blogs I\’ve seen lately, but he does have some great content, and Guy Kawasaki actually does link to his blog. Welcome to the Utah blogosphere, Pete!

He’s a big advocate of that service. It is also great to hear that these well known companies actually use LinkedIn to recruit.
