[UPDATE] Google Manila (Philippines) is Hiring

Google Manila, yes, Manila, yes, in the Philippines, is hiring. Click on the Map, and it will take you to the Google Map of Google Manila, hehehe. There's no news about it in any of the social media sites or news websites, so I'm guessing hey, maybe they published it in the newspapers. Cool, uber cool. Fantastic time too, as about a bajillion new graduates with the appropriate qualifications are graduating this March 2013.

Lucky bastards.

Anyway, they're looking into hiring Sales and Account Management Positions. Meaning practically, every graduate with the right skill and connections has a fighting chance of getting in.

Hey, 10 seconds ago, there was two positions, but, when I checked again, there was only one left.

Man, this is one my very far fetched dreams - , but I don't think I have the confidence enough to go get back in the game. Frankly, I think I would be better qualified mopping the floors of the Google office in Manila. Man, that would be really awesome and cool.

Hey, I work for Google. 

Cool. What do you do? 

I mop floors.

Anyway, for you aspiring googleheads who have enough young blood in them to make this happen, go get it:
