7-Year-Old Girl Applies For A Job At Google, Gets A Priceless Response Letter
Ask most 7-year-olds what they want to be when they grow up and you can guarantee that the responses will be typically fantastical, from spacemen and cowgirls to firefighters and rock stars. But all Chloe Bridgewater wants to do is work for Google (well OK, and also work in a chocolate factory and be an Olympic swimmer). She even sent them a hand-written job application, which was the only letter she’s even sent except for one to Father Christmas. And guess what? Not only did she get a response; the response came courtesy of none other than the CEO of Google himself, Mr. Sundar Pichai.
“Dear Google boss,” wrote the 7-year-old from Hereford, UK. “My name is Chloe and when I am bigger I would like a job with Google.” She wrote it after she asked her father, Andy, what he’d like to do if he didn’t sell refrigerator parts. He told her that Google would be cool and showed her some pictures of their headquarters in Silicon Valley, and the moment she saw the bean bags, slides and go-karts, she knew she’d found her dream job. He encouraged her to write an application and so she did, but neither of them were prepared for the response they received a few days later. See for yourself below. Andy recently posted it on his LinkedIn page and Twitter account, and it’s since been liked more than 94k times.

When a 7-year-old Chloe wrote a letter to Google, she never expected a reply from the CEO himself!
The letter was only the second one Chloe had ever written. The first one was to Father Christmas
After seeing the pictures of the beanbags, slides, and go-karts at Google HQ, Chloe couldn’t resist writing them a letter
She got this reply a few days later
“Dear Chloe,” reads the letter. “Thank you so much for your letter. I’m glad that you like computers and robots, and hope that you will continue to learn about technology. I think if you keep working hard and following your dreams, you can accomplish everything you set your mind to – from working at Google to swimming in the Olympics. I look forward to receiving your job application when you are finished with school! : ) All the best to you and your family, Sundar Pichai, CEO
The internet was quick to praise Chloe’s motivation and character. This girl is really going places!

This girl should be an example for all people who are seeking for jobs and have no motivation. When you do things - things happen to you :) And when you are following your dream it will come true one day! :)
While what you say is true, and the girl is indeed sweet, and it was nice from Google to reply back, I have a feeling all this is just like when 5 year olds tell adults they'll marry them when they grow up and the adults take it as a cute joke and innocently play along.

What a sweet girl! :) And its nice of Google that they replied to her :)
Im 13, and in middle school and in the 8th grade. Im turning 14 in 3 more months, i also cant wait until i finish school!
Nice to know you're excited, you've got a long way to go...
Load More Replies...When I was eight, I sent a similar letter to Crayola. They sent me the same kind of letter. Is this like a tradition among companies?
Am I the only one who does not see anything special and worth talking about it ? Or maybe for anyone else receiving the letter from google is like a message from God? Impatiently waiting for publication of fascinating correspondence between toddler and fire department.
I wish our society was add kind to everyone as we are to 7 yr olds...
Do they realise leaving the postcode on the letter gives pretty much as much information away as the full address?
Meanwhile, I can't even get a rejection letter, let alone a job. :(
I think Google could have made a grand gesture by sending them a computer system! Lacking in the "PR" department!!
Being a slave in a corporation is not the future. He actually gave her a standard response, which in this context appears to be like such an amazing and overwhelming gesture. It's just a standard business conduct.
If that's what you really think, then you're hanging out with some really stupid "adults". There are errors in every sentence it seems, which is understandable for a 7 year old, but not anybody older than 16
