non-routine problem-solving skills
-
the non-routine problems offer the opportunity to create competitive advantage, and solving those problems requires creative thought and tenacity.
-
When an issue arises or a decision needs to be made, we start with data. That means we can talk about what we know, instead of what we think we know.
-
Marshalling and understanding the available evidence isn't useful unless you can effectively communicate your conclusions.
-
A well-designed experiment calls for a range of treatments, explicit control groups, and careful post-treatment analysis.
-
People need to work well together and perform up to the team's expectations.
-
be motivated by a sense of importance about what you do.
-
many required skills will change
-
The need for reasoning, though, remains constant, so we believe in taking the most challenging courses in core disciplines: math, sciences, humanities.
-
keep on challenging yourself
-
Learning, it turns out, is a lifelong major.

... analytical reasoning. Google is a data-driven, analytic company. When an issue arises or a decision needs to be made, we start with data. That means we can talk about what we know, instead of what we think we know.
... communication skills. Marshalling and understanding the available evidence isn't useful unless you can effectively communicate your conclusions.
... a willingness to experiment. Non-routine problems call for non-routine solutions and there is no formula for success. A well-designed experiment calls for a range of treatments, explicit control groups, and careful post-treatment analysis. Sometimes an experiment kills off a pet theory, so you need a willingness to accept the evidence even if you don't like it.
... team players. Virtually every project at Google is run by a small team. People need to work well together and perform up to the team's expectations.
... passion and leadership. This could be professional or in other life experiences: learning languages or saving forests, for example. The main thing, to paraphrase Mr. Drucker, is to be motivated by a sense of importance about what you do.

In fact, in the real world, while the answers to the odd-numbered problems are not in the back of the textbook, the tests are all open book, and your success is inexorably determined by the lessons you glean from the free market. Learning, it turns out, is a lifelong major.

Karl FischAt the highest level, we are looking for non-routine problem-solving skills. We expect applicants to be able to solve routine problems as a matter of course. After all, that's what most education is concerned with. But the non-routine problems offer the opportunity to create competitive advantage, and solving those problems requires creative thought and tenacity.
