Google Interview and Scholarship

Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

I just finished with a Google Interview for an internship. I must say it was a very challenging phone interview. I will see the results of the phone interview in about a week.

I am also one of eight students to receive the UNCF / Google Scholarship for 2006 - 2007. I greatly appreciate the efforts of both Google and the UNCF.
