The One App You Need On Your Résumé If You Want A Job At Google [Average Pay: $141,000]

Google has more than 50,000 employees right now, and they earn great salaries. Average pay at Google is $141,000.

It's relatively easy to get a job at Google, too.

The company is so large and has such a massive need for talent that hiring for Google is something of a headache, so if you have the right skills, Google is really enthusiastic to hear from you.

Especially if you know how to use MatLab, a code and data analysis and management tool.

On Thursday night, Google's former svp/product management Jonathan Rosenberg was in London with chairman Eric Schmidt to promote their new book "How Google Works."

During a Q&A at the University of London, Rosenberg said he once had to give a speech in front of a room full of Rhodes scholars (about 70 people receive the scholarship each year). He offered them all jobs at Google right there on the spot — and even compared their airfare to San Francisco. A few of them took the offer.

The fact that Google is willing to hire an entire room of bright people, sight unseen, tells you how desperately the company needs smart workers.

If, on the off chance, you're not a Rhodes scholar, Schmidt had some more down-to-earth advice. Google really needs data analytics people and folks who have studied statistics in college, he said.

Big data — how to create it, manipulate it, and put it to good use — is one of those areas in which Google is really enthusiastic about.

And then Rosenberg said something really interesting. If you want to work at Google, make sure you can use MatLab, he said.

Classical hand calculation is dead....they don’t want to hear from you until they run out of Matlab candidates....that or until the power goes out and the computer dies:)

Ha! Yah. A friend said, "Watch out for the 'turtle' episode. Wow. Yeah. That one got me.

In fact, I have gotten the DVDs for season 3-6 on Half.com. Good deal. I have a Winter full of viewing coming.

"Winter Is Coming".

But that's a discussion for another thread.

I’m really sorry about that...BTW, Bobby dying on Dallas was all a dream...

BTW, Bobby dying on Dallas was all a dream...

"Oh noes! Say it ain't so."

I really don't mind spoilers. Wifey does. So I ain't talking.

the fact you havn’t watched those cd’s you got in tells me you’re not a serious fan. certainly not addicted....:-)

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Puhleeze. I'm enjoying every minute. The fact that I have not watched the series when it aired and deferred to when a friend loaned me the DVDs only proves one thing;

That I am not a mind numbed fool who will sit and watch inane commercial after inane commercial to get the content I seek.

I have patience. I can easily wait a year or two to see the hottest series without being subjected to stupid ads.

It's easy enough. Get a pencil and paper. Make a list of what you wish to view and simply wait.

If that isn't a 'serious fan' then you are correct. I ain't. But I do beg to differ. That only makes me a cheap prick.

i was kidding.

So, how do you play that round disky (new word) looking thing? I sold my Technics Turntable years ago.

I’ll get out my Resume in the Mail tomorrow just as soon as I’m done typing it up on the old IBM Selectric.

For Google only the best, I’ll be sending it Priority Mail.

Oh. Oopsy.
