For those who think that there is a skills shortage, let me tell you about my Google job interview

27. I actually responded to the story when it occurred, back in 2010

As I said, Google ran a public relation piece claiming that they interviewed a million people and could only find 2500 acceptable people back around May or June time frame in 2010. I responded to the story.

Sometimes web pages that do not suit Google's needs are later unable to be found on Google. Yeah, I know Google's results are not biased. Yeah, right!

The whole narrative began around January 2010, maybe December 2009, with an announcement that Google was going to hire 6000 or 7000 people. When I received the email asking if I would be interested in working for Google, I was elated. As I said, it was awesome.

When the guy from Red China started speaking using horrible English, I became concerned. As I said, I knew this material cold, off the cuff. It is something that I have been doing for thirty years. What is the order of complexity of a binary sort lookup? Well assuming that you are using a balanced tree, the order of complexity is n log(n). The questions were along those lines. I had to address using a hash table, which is actually trivial too. I was asked to calculate the amount of storage needed for an array of a million 10 digit decimal integers. I did the math in my head, again, trivial.

The algorithm was a gotcha though. My solution required a recursive routine, which I composed in two minutes. For about a minute and a half, I was stumped. But I came up with the answer. Then came the hard part, translating the answer into English that could be understood by someone who was unable to speak English.

Any open minded person who hears this story knows that this whole interview process staged by Google is a farce, a fraud! This whole narrative was staged by Google to mock, taunt, and smear US STEM workers.
