Today was our first day in Google, and at the start I was very nervous but after we got introduced to our programme managers Sara and Debbie and done some ice breakers with the group my nerves had gone. We also got some cool goody bags! The first activity today was a programme overview , this was very beneficial as it gave us a good outlook of the programme and the different activity's that will be held during the week! We then done some ice breakers which was a great activity as it helped me to get to know the group and make some new friends! After this activity we got our chrome books that we will be using for the week.
We then had a break and after our break we got to meet John Herlihy who is the vice president of Google. He gave us a really interesting speech on how he began to work in Google and how he enjoys his work here. We then got an extremely interesting presentation from Ryan Owens who is an on-line sales manager. I found this presentation extremely interesting because he showed us how Google has evolved over the years and how it hopes to evolve even more! We then met a very interesting man named Dom Cunningham 'The sheriff' who is the Safety and Security manager here at Google. Dom is a very funny man and he told us some interesting stories from his time here in Google , he also explained a bit about the security system here.
At one o'clock we then went for lunch which was very nice and we got loads of really nice food!! When we finished lunch we went on an office tour , I found this very interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed this as we got each theme and floor design explained to us. We also got to visit the new building which was very nice and filled loads of great and interesting places! After out tour we got a CV&Interview workshop which I thought was really beneficial as I got to learn a lot about making a CV. I also got to learn a few tips and tricks on doing interviews , these tips were beneficial as we will be having a mock interview on Friday.
We then had another break in the micro kitchen. After our break we got to meet an Engineer named John Looney , I found him very interesting as he has experienced so many different jobs in his life and he has accomplished so many different things. After that speech we then got to work on our blogs. Overall I really enjoyed my first day in OneWeek@Google, I got to learn a lot of new things about Google and meet loads of new people!!
