Yesterday I got an e-mail from Google asking for a good time to phone me next week to 'discuss Google career opportunities and your qualifications'. At first I thought it was a hoax, but on a closer inspection of the mail headers it appeared to be legitimate.

I am pretty damn excited. Google looks to be an awesome place to work with their junior to intermediate systems security engineer pretty much exactly what I am looking for. Well as 'exactly' as a 22 year old grad student can muster.

The only thing bugging me is that the e-mail seems to be a reply. This is from the first line which states 'Thank you for your interest in Google.' Now the name of the person who e-mailed me seems very familiar and I have a vauge recollection about e-mailing Google after reading about how they were looking for MSc and up students. After some extensive grep'ing of my sent mail I have turned up nothing however. The stress from this year has messed my memory up quite badly.

UPDATE: It is a non-technical, screening interview and I am expecting a call at 6:30pm SAST on Thursday the 16th. It has also been suggested that I filled out an online form. I have decided after further research to apply to the lunar station.
