I applied to attend the ACM Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing. Part of the application is submission of a résumé. A few days after I submitted my résumé, I found I could not attend the conference. However, a few months later, I got an email from a Google Recruiter encouraging me to apply to the Engineering Practicum Internship whose application was due three days later. I quickly jotted some responses to the essay questions, assuming I would not be selected for further consideration. A few days later, I got an email asking when I'd be available for an interview. There were two back-to-back 45 minute technical interviews. Part of the interview process is signing a non-disclosure agreement which prohibits discussing details of the actual interviews. A week later, I was asked to submit a transcript, and verify that I was eligible to work in the United States. The next day, my recruited called to offer me a position and walked me through the steps to accept it.
