Persiapan interview pertama saya lebih banyak berlatih berbicara dalam bahasa Inggris. Akhirnya telepon saya berdering tepat pukul 24:00 wib, di California pukul 10:00 AM PDT, yang menelpon ramah banget dan mengenalkan diri terlebih dahulu. Phone interview pertama hampir 1 jam lebih banyak bertanya keingintahuan Google tentang saya, khususnya dari pengalaman pekerjaan, pencapaian apa yang sudah saya lakukan, dsb..
Selesai interview saya disuruh menunggu seminggu untuk mengetahui hasilnya apakah saya bisa lanjut ke interview kedua.
