Google Uses Contest To Attract Writers in India |

Google is searching for writers who choose their words carefully and relish the spirit of competition. At least, that's what a page says on the Google web site here. The page includes a registration form for a writing contest Google will host in multiple India cities on September 30, 2006. Google -- along with other companies -- has used the contest format in the past to attract technical talent in India. (We've covered that on Sourcingmag.com in a profile of Topcoder, "How To Hire Best-of-Breed Programmers for Your Project," here. So I would say it's a good bet that Google will be seeking writers to hire there with its latest contest. I wonder if it's for mundane copywriting work or for something more than that. |

Hi Dian, I think this advertisement was just to create a database of writers who they can contact as and when required. I applied on the form and got a thank you message and nothing after that. It has been three days since the time I completed the form so I, like you, am wondering on what's the plan! Cheers, Kavita |
