Infographic: How Google+ Is the Key to a Job at Google

http://socialtimes.com/infographic-job-google-plus-google_b118529

Google was first on Fortune‘s list of the “100 Best Companies to Work For” in 2013. If you’re looking for a job at Google in one of 70 offices in 40 countries around the world, look no further than Google+.
Late in December, the company connected its job board to Google+, giving applicants the tools to search through their own networks to find a second or third degree connection at the company.
According to GPlusData, more than 10 percent of the 114 million people that the social analytics service tracks on its site have claimed Google as an employer, either at YouTube or Google itself. Apply that same percentage to Google’s entire 500 million-strong population and it would appear that Google had taken over the world. More than 10 percent is an impossibly high number — and literally more employees than Google actually has — but the number could include freelancers, former employees, YouTube partners, and a few wannabes.
And yet Google’s presence on its own social network is undeniably robust, with 112 pages devoted to Google products and services like YouTube, Chrome, Maps, and the Google Art Project, which are frequently updated by the Google employees who make them run.
Right now, the career connection tool only applies to Google’s job board, but combined with Gmail and Google’s other productivity tools, the experiment could easily form the seeds of a career networking site to rival LinkedIn.

There are lots of reasons it might be hard to cobble together a decent resume. Maybe you've been unemployed for a long time, maybe you're trying to switch careers or maybe you're a mom who's been home raising kids for a few years.
Whatever your situation, there's good news. Resumes are changing. Your skills are just as valuable as your formal employment and can help sell your resume to a potential employer.
Ford R. Myers, career coach, speaker and author of the book "Get The Job You Want, Even When No One's Hiring" (John Wiley & Sons, 2009) encourages job seekers to draw on a variety of past experiences, in both paid and non-paid positions, when applying for new employment.
"These transferable skills, acquired during any activity - volunteer positions, classes, projects, parenting, hobbies, sports - can be applicable to one's next job," Myers said.  "By adding transferable skills to a resume, employers get a better understanding and broader picture of who they are hiring - as well as the interests, values and experiences that the candidate brings to the table."

Myers divided transferrable skills into five broad skill areas and gives examples of how you can describe each:
