Participation in contests even if it is not great seems to increase your likely to get an interview. Even I was offered the chance to get interview thrice, but I chickened out, thrice. Of course, the ticket to interview is just that. You'll still have to do well in the interview and demonstrate

Google can call you even if your participation was not good. I solved just 1 problem and google called me, I failed their test anyway but it was a good experience overall and the recruiter tells you can re-apply when you are ready again contacting him. If you think a little about this, just bei

I understand what porker means by "I sucks in the interview" - a contest and the interview are two very different situations. At any interview you are in unfamiliar surroundings, that may affect your programming performance (lack of familiar reference materials, for example). BUT even more import

My thoughts: a) it definitely should help, at least when you are finalist. b) performance at competitions is important but not the only thing Google looks for (because at Google you sometimes need to do some other staff, not only competing at competitions ;)) c) b means that Google might be mo

It helps but it does not help a lot. I was in the top 500 last year (Round3) but still fail the interview of Google. Participating in Codejam would give you no more than a chance to get an interview, but after that, the result only depends on your performance in the interview. Parker On Thurs
