How Google Picks New Employees (Hint: Its Not About Your Degree) 谷歌招聘新职员的五大标准 I’ve been having disagreements for years about the usefulness of college degrees as a measure of someone’s ability to be an outstanding employee. Now, don’t get me wrong – I don’t think it’s ever a bad thing to have a degree. I just think people make an assumption about formal education that’s often untrue. They assume that if two people are exactly the same in terms of age, life and job experience and demographics, and one has a college degree and the other doesn’t – that the one who has the degree will be a better employee and have a more successful career. 多年来，对于将大学文凭作为一些人是否能够成为优秀员工的衡量标准一事，我一直持有不同意见。但不要误会我的意思——我不认为获得学位会是件坏事。我只是认为，人们就正规教育作出的假设往往与真实不符。他们假设，如果两个人的年龄大致相仿，且无论生活与工作经历还是背景出身都类似，但其中一人拥有大学文凭，另一人则没有，那么拥有大学文凭的那个人将成为一位更加优秀的员工，并会在事业上取得更多成功。 So I was thrilled to read an article by Thomas L. Friedman in the NYT a few months ago, called “How To Get A Job At Google.” Friedman’s article expands upon an interview between Adam Bryant of the NYT and Lazlo Bock, SVP of People Operations for Google , where Bock goes into depth about the core attributes Google looks for when hiring.

Friedman）在《纽约时报》撰写的一篇题为“如何在谷歌（Google）找到一份工作”的文章。弗里德曼的文章在《纽约时报》亚当·布莱恩特（Adam Bryant）对谷歌人事高级副总裁拉兹洛·波克（Lazlo Bock）的采访基础上进行了扩充。在此采访中，波克深入介绍了谷歌在招募人才时所寻找的核心特征。波克一度表示，“作为招聘的标准，总平均成绩（GPA）和测试成绩都毫无价值……我们发现它们并不能说明任何问题。” My point exactly. Someone can do very well in college and not have what it takes to succeed in the real world – and vice versa. Bock went on to say that an increasing proportion of people hired at Google these days don’t have college degrees. Bock then shared the five criteria Google does use when evaluating job candidates. I was struck not only by the list, but by the order. Here’s my understanding of what he said, and why i
