Google and Udacity To Help You to Win Your Interview

Remember your first interview? It might have been pretty daunting, right? From where did you get tips to excel in it? Your dad? The senior corporate guy next door? Or just some random site on the web? No matter if you had the qualifications or if you were right for the job, you always knew in the back of your mind that you were not fully prepared.

Well, just imagine how it would have been if the most reputed company in the world and one of the leading online courses service in the world come up to you and offer to lend a helping hand? Things would have been quite different. Right?

Well, that is exactly what Google and Udacity are doing. The two companies have teamed up to help employees improve their chances of getting a job. It might be their first time in an interview or a mid-career course change. It doesn’t matter. Google and Udacity are here to help.

Getting a Job

Networking for Career Success, a course which was launched in March has grown to now be a part of the 12 courses that Google and Udacity are launching together. The new courses are not there for the sake of it.

These new courses cover a wide variety of topics like refreshing your resume and writing a cover letter to help you in strengthening your LinkedIn profile.

But if that is not enough, there are also technical courses like Data Structures and Algorithms in Python class and there is also a course on using Swift for technical interviews too. Now, the question arises, why an initiative like this now?

Timing

Though the present generation of job seekers possess a great number of skills, they also face a lot of competition in a rapidly changing landscape. And just skills is not enough. Also needed are the right tools that will help you to land a job that will thus enable you to showcase your skills to the world.

This course isn’t just for all those young college graduates out there. You might be someone who is pursuing a career change, or you might be an older worker who is returning to the workforce. These courses can help you in a long way.

Udacity and Google are both big names in their respective markets, and it seems that they are banking heavily on that goodwill to bring this course to the public. Of course, this isn’t also the first time that Udacity is partnering with Google to bring out an educational course.

Google, Udacity, and Coursera have worked together to launch career-oriented courses and technical classes that covered a wide span of subjects. From introductions to programming and IT skills to classes to in-depth machine learning courses.

It is also obvious that one always tends to go to the best for advice. And when coming to jobs and hiring, who can beat Google?
