In-depth analysis and targeted-suggestions from Dr. Li Kaifu for students in the Chinese computer department
Many college students asked us: "I have not yet graduated this year, but I would like to know how to prepare myself if I want to apply for Google China Engineering Research Institute in the future ?" The following are suggestions from Dr. Lee Kai-Fu, president of Google China, and some other senior Chinese engineers of Google.
(1) internal skills. Do not just take the effort to learn a variety of popularProgramming LanguageAnd tools, as well as the subjects required by some companies to apply for advertising. Data structure,AlgorithmBasic courses such as database, operating system principle, computer architecture, computer network, and discrete mathematics. Try the questions in Donald knuth's Art of computer programming. If you can solve most of these questions, it means that you are doing well in algorithm.
(2) Multiple practices. Accumulated experience and internalization knowledge through practical programming. We suggest you try to write 100,000 rows in the four years of universityCodeExperience.
(3) be realistic. Do not underestimate any practical work, such as some seemingly simple coding or testing. We need to persistently pursue meticulous practices and professionalism for details.
(4) do not give up mathematics. Mathematics is the gymnastics of thinking, and mathematics is everywhere. Especially when you are interested in some "mathematical-intensive" fields, such as video and image processing, you need to make it your weapon.
(5) cultivate team spirit and learn to cooperate with others.
(6) inspiring innovation consciousness is not restricted by books and authority.
(7) "work" strategically ". Find a meaningful summer job or part-time job without affecting your studies. Find a company that attaches importance to code and, under the guidance of a good "boss", implement what will truly be used by users.Program. Don't rush to a place where you want to be "head" and stand alone, because learning from others is your purpose. Work is the same as job hunting. "Don't just look at the treatment and title, pick an environment where you can learn, a company that is willing to train employees, a company that attaches importance to your profession, and finally, pick a good boss."

Innovation Practitioner's paradise-Dr. Lee Kaifu, president of Google China, sent a message to Chinese applicants
Welcome to the Google China recruitment website. As I wrote in "Google and China-Follow my choice", Google is a "shocking me" company because of its passion for technological innovation, persistence in good faith and good faith, attention to public interests, and pursuit of a free and transparent enterprise culture. Today's China is also very exciting for me, not only because of its prosperous economy and active market, but also because of thousands of Chinese young people who are filled with wisdom, ideals, and vigor. So, "I chose Google. I chose China ."
I have two goals at Google: first, turning advanced technology into a product that anyone can use to serve the Chinese Masses and benefit the whole society; and second, cultivating the best Chinese students, provide the environment for them to realize their potential. We will strive to build a superior innovation and sincere mutual assistance team to build a true "paradise for innovation practitioners in computer science ". Google China Engineering Research Institute, with the mission of making new product R & D, will make our inventions "take the world as a lab" on the Internet ".
We want every employee to "be the best ". We will assist each employee in designing career planning and training programs; assign Senior mentors and learning opportunities to each employee at the U. S. Headquarters; enable everyone in technical, emotional, comprehensive training and training in terms of language, communication, and organizational skills will also encourage everyone to learn freely-as a Google tradition, it allows every employee to spend 20% of their time doing what they like. I will personally guide the first batch of new employees who graduated from the New Year and train dozens of world-class engineers and computer scientists from them.
Google's philosophy is "never settle for the best", that is, "Only better ". In Google China, "best" is just another start, and there is no limit to innovation and dreams. Welcome to join us!
