internships

[Caano Geel]

sorry i know should post it in the students sec. but this will give it a wider circulation amongst these here nomads.

 

I received the message below from the mighty-G. Knowing people there, and the interrelationships they offer, if you fit the bill (i.e. a systems hacker rather than web-dev) i'd encourage you to try your luck.

 

I'd rather not post the full contact details in a public forum, so if you're interested PM me, and i'll pass you the contacts.

 

thanks

My name is ***** and I work in intern recruitment at Google - hello! I wanted to let you have details of internships we have available for

Arabic speaking computer science students in either Zurich, Switzerland, or Mountain View, California. We are particularly interested in current MSc or PhD students, in case this is relevant to you!

 

Here is the link to the Zurich job description on our website:

http://www.google.com/support/jobs/bin/answer.py?a nswer=112008 We are looking for people who have excellent computer science fundamentals and programming skills, and are fluent in Arabic. Our internships are full time, paid positions, and last for a minimum of 3 months and a maximum of 12 months, with flexible start times.

 

Requirements:

 

- Currently pursuing a BS, MS or PhD in computer science or a related

technical field with excellent academic record. Typically within 12-18

months of completing a Bachelor's or Master's degree, or at any stage in

your PhD.

- Experience in systems software or algorithms.

- Excellent programming skills (C++, Java, Python).

If you think you're eligible for these internships and would like to apply,

or know someone who might be interested, please send me a CV and university

transcripts, graduation date, preferred location (Zurich or Mountain View)

and an idea of when you would be available, and I will let our engineers

take a look! As I mentioned, if this is not for you, but you know anyone who

may be interested, please do let me know, and pass on my email to them.

 

I look forward to hearing from you!

 

Many thanks,
