The One App You Need to Mention on Your Resume If You Want a Job at Google (businessinsider.com.au)

MATLAB is more than an app. It's an entire language.

Points for the buzzfeed style headline though.

I applied with Google, didn't even hear a "thanks but no thanks". As someone who has hired and been hired, that kind of behavior always chaps my hide. If someone takes the time to apply for a job, a courteous email saying " no", is the least that is owed. Make it automated if need be, but a reply is the least a company can do, especially if they are "desperate" for talent.


Hint: GNU Octave or Scilab are open-source equivalents.
