How To Work For Google (regardless of your background)

My wife recently asked me why I don’t work for Google, especially since they now have a presence in Tempe, Arizona, a short distance from where we live. Sure, the stock options would be nice, and I guess the free lunches would be pretty good too. Of course, there is the networking, etc, but I just somehow don’t think the culture is for me.

As I was perusing some random website, I did find out that I can get connected to “Big G” pretty easily, although the pay just wasn’t what I was looking for.

Almost anyone can become a Google Business Referral Representative and earn a whopping $2-$10 per business that you locate, take a photo of, and get approved, in efforts to help them build Google Local. Considering I’d have to pay for my gas, I don’t know how excited my wife will be when I give her the update.

Anyhow, for those who are just itching to be connected with Google and can’t seem to make Adsense payoff for you, this may be another way to get some green from Google. If you do, let me know how it works out for you.

    This doesn’t really seem like a huge deal - but it IS a good ice breaker to introduce new companies offline to why they want to get up with Google. One person I suggested it to is waiving fees in exchange for email, phone and full mailing addresses… which I thought was stupid until they became their monthly clients. Then I thought… a client that’s going to pay even $100 a month is worth $10 to get…

    @ Tinu (sorry I missed replying prior - shame on me) - I agree, it won’t make you lots of money (without a lot of work), but I imagine if you do well at it you can leverage the relationship with Google.

    @ Lisa - Good luck. Please keep me posted on how you make out with the program.
