My answers to over 100 Google interview questions

##Google Interview Questions: Product Marketing Manager

  • Why do you want to join Google? -- Because I want to create tools for others to learn, for free. I didn't have a lot of money when growing up so I didn't get access to the same books, computers and resources that others had which caused money, I want to help ensure that others can learn on the same playing field regardless of their families wealth status or location.
  • What do you know about Google’s product and technology? -- A lot actually, I am a beta tester for numerous products, I use most of the Google tools such as: Search, Gmaill, Drive, Reader, Calendar, G+, YouTube, Web Master Tools, Keyword tools, Analytics etc.
  • If you are Product Manager for Google’s Adwords, how do you plan to market this?
  • What would you say during an AdWords or AdSense product seminar?
  • Who are Google’s competitors, and how does Google compete with them? -- Google competes on numerous fields: --- Search: Baidu, Bing, Duck Duck Go

Very simple method to add custom poster frame to youtube video without using youtube API. This code is also valid in browsers not supporting window.postMessage (API uses postMessage). The trick is adding the iframe in a comment. Javascript reads comment contents and saves iframe definition to a var. When JQuery (for the sake of brevity, not real…

A simple LinkFixerBot clone developed as a demonstration for anyone who is curious how a simple reddit bot might be coded. To kill this code, spam "Ctrl+C" until it catches the exception.
import praw # simple interface to the reddit API, also handles rate limiting of requests

USERNAME = "Your username here"
PASSWORD = "Your password here"
USERAGENT = "Your useragent string here. It should include your /u/username as a courtesy to reddit"
