My Take To Win This Opportunity (Original Tip for DestinyLinkMe Readers):
This role is highly competitive for BS/MS students because Google mainly reserves it for PhD students. To stand out, don’t just submit a normal CV. Your Research Focus section is your weapon. List ONE strong research project where you solved a problem with data or code, even if it’s your final year project. Link to your GitHub or a published paper if you have one. Google wants to see you can do research, not just study it.
