Google is a Fortune top 5 company to work for, and by many accounts, is a company that will put your career on the fast path to success. But a recent article in Business Insider pulls back the curtain on Google's interview process, and let's you in on just how difficult landing a job with the company can be.

Everyone says your GPA doesn’t matter when you’re finding a job — those people obviously never applied to Google. My 3.6 suddenly seemed inferior. Google also wanted to know if I had received any job offers. They wanted to know who was recruiting me and how far along I was in my job search. Talk about salt on an open wound to a college senior. Sad and dejected, I ticked off the “No” [no one wants me] and “Yes” [I’m still unemployed] boxes. I should have realized then that this was shaping up to be a grueling interview process, but I was too excited to pay much notice.

It get's worse for this candidate. It's certainly an interesting story, and worth reading to see just how bad a nightmare interview can be. So remember, it's one thing to set your sites high, but be prepared for a little disappointment if a company you worship doesn't end up providing the type of experience you were expecting. And don't forget, it can be a long road to finding you first job. If an interview doesn't go as plan, don't sweat it. There'll be more opportunities out there.
