    Google searching for UK/European staff

    The period between Christmas and the new year is when many people get depressed about returning to work and start looking for a new and better job.

    If you fall into that category yourself, you might like to know that Google is on the look out for a lot of new staff to build its European team.

    Check it out.

    Quite seriously - I posted this even knowing that Google's banner ad was there.

    That's because:

    a/ I thought it was very interesting (especially to people looking to move on in the new year)

    b/ I reasoned that a lot of such people might just ignore the banner ad

    The problem with google jobs ,for me at least, is one of the requirements for their software dev posts is a degree and from a "leading university".

    Odd really.

    Hmm...interesting...My mate is going round job agencys now (he hasnt had a job since the autumn ish), and apparently its a good time to look for work because people do not want the hassle of changing jobs around christmas, and with christmas debts to pay off, people just stay put for now at least.
    Thats what i heard.

    This is google we are talking about...I think they have the right to be a little bit picky

    My mistake I thought they would accept people fresh out of uni but not gnarled experienced devs, but on re-reading they want a good degree and a good few years experience.

    oddly enough a couple of the banners get trapped by our content filter as known ad sites. ( the dynamic ones )

    There is a great opportunity out there for someone with the right credentials !
