At 28, I feel like I’ve taken the role of a parent somewhat. I went from being a relatively carefree 22-year-old college student who couldn’t cook anything to learning to use pressure cookers and air fryers to prepare meals for my mom after her accident. I can’t even imagine how it must have been to work at Google. I’ve applied some 18 times and never once have made it beyond the resume screening.” (Also Read: ‘Privileged’: Indian-origin director of Google news sacked after 13 years of service)A second shared, ” I don’t know who you are, and I don’t know how you work, but that doesn’t matter, I give you all the support so that soon you will be the person who hires all of us who are in your same situation right now.
