GOOGLER

all through college i knew i wanted to marry Will and knew he hoped to go to medical school one day.

so i realized if i married him i was going to have to be the breadwinner for a while…

which was perfectly fine with me!

i graduated from BYU a year early to get into the work force and wanted to start building my resumé up and become a working woman!

for the past year i have been working at a company called Orca Health and have absolutely loved my time there.

it is a start-up company that develops iPad apps for physicians & specialists to use in their offices for patient education and increasing retention rates.

however, in germany, my brother-in-law asked me what my dream job was.

i replied saying my dream job would probably be working for a company like google or apple etc.

so what did i do?

went ahead and looked into seeing if there were any positions currently open at google.

luckily for me, they were currently on the look for 5 new people to join the Google Fiber team to help establish more google fiber networks in neighborhoods this summer!

it was quite the interesting recruitment process including phone call interviews, face-to-face interviews and paperwork upon paperwork to complete prior to being selected.

one of the google recruiters told me how many applicants apply for this position everyday so let’s just say i wasn’t expecting anything to come from this.

but then on Tuesday May 13th i received a call at 3:04 p.m. from the recruiter saying they offered me 1 of the 5 contract positions!

i was ecstatic.

jaw dropped.

running around in circles.

shaking.

called Will jumping up & down

my dream came true!

they chose 5 new members to join the google fiber team on contract positions and i was one of them!

i was literally sooo happy i couldn’t even believe it.

my first day of work was today and let’s just say there was a WHOLE lot of training.
the rest of the week consists of training from 9-5 everyday!

 

for those of you who don’t know what google fiber is visit the website to learn more:
it’s basically FREE internet.
all you have to do is pay a $30 installation fee and you have free internet!
true story!
or you can pay $70 a month for gigabit internet which is 100x faster than current internet
(insanely fast, seriously)
or pay $120 a month for the gigbit internet + TV!
so you can stream netflix, youtube etc. right from your TV via the internet!
it’s changing the world i tell ya.

 

i learned today that each google office space is customized to it’s specific areas location.
so the provo office entails a very alpine, mountainous, skier lifestyle feeling.
the conference rooms are named sundance, alta, deer valley etc.

 

i die at that exposed brick!
so beautiful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

i am so excited and truly can’t wait to see what this new position leads to.
i was a little overwhelmed at the end of today but i can’t wait to roll up my sleeves and push myself to limits i didn’t know possible.
if you live in the provo area e-mail me about google fiber and we can come set you up!
