BANGALORE: Do you aspire to land a job at Google? You will be amazed to know that good grades, high IQ or being successful at your current position is not enough to land a job at this renowned organization.



Check out the list of five attributes that you need to display to bag an offer letter from the search engine giant, as listed by New York Times.



1. Humility: As per Laszlo Block, who is senior vice president of people operations at Google, in a competitive space that often witnesses numerous creative heads join forces to keep the company up and running, it is essential for individuals to step back and allow others to contribute. And he added that the candidates who show that they possess this ability during the screening process are bound to be rewarded.



In his words, “Your end goal is what can we do together to problem-solve? Hence it is essential for you to do your bit, then step back and allow others to take over,” reports the New York Times. And he added that, “Without humility, you are unable to learn. Successful, bright people rarely experience failure and so they don’t learn how to learn from that failure.”
