How do you write a cover letter for a job at Google?

Google receives millions of job applications each year that it has to sort through. All of this points to its ambivalence on the necessity of having a cover letter when applying.

When seeking an internship at Google, a cover letter could be more appropriate.

If you plan on writing a cover letter for a job at Google, you'll want to touch on:

• The company's ascendance to being the number one internet search engine in the world

• How your values reflect those of the company

• Previous work experience and what it has taught you

• Experience in different projects you've contributed to and what you've learned as a result, with relevant data

• Any leadership role you've held

• If you are a recent college graduate, any work-related coursework

• Your enthusiasm and professionalism

• Your contributions to innovations in the tech world
