We thank Dr. Halcrow for his career talk and for helping providing food from Emerald City Bagels, a local family-owned shop. Jonathan is a former student of Prof. Cvitanovic, who graduated from Georgia Tech in 2008, who then worked in a quantitative political science think-tank for 5 years before joining Google in 2013. Since then, Jonathan had the great opportunity to work for various research groups of the giant internet company, including projects like Google Play and Large Scale Graph Mining.

Per his request, we gratefully share his presentation slides: they contain useful information about the recruiting process of Google and more generally, of software companies. We also invite some of the interested students to directly email Jonathan for further information, résumé review and job opportunities.
