00:00:04,070 --> 00:00:06,750
Hi, my name is Juan.
2
00:00:06,750 --> 00:00:08,970
I'm a visual designer at Google.
3
00:00:08,970 --> 00:00:11,055
I come from the
Dominican Republic,
4
00:00:11,055 --> 00:00:14,325
especially from a
small town in DR,
5
00:00:14,325 --> 00:00:16,290
where I don't have
access to Internet.
6
00:00:16,290 --> 00:00:19,710
My passion for computer and
Internet was very, very high,
7
00:00:19,710 --> 00:00:21,390
that every day after
8
00:00:21,390 --> 00:00:24,240
school when I get
home, I take my CPU,
9
00:00:24,240 --> 00:00:25,620
and put it on my head,
10
00:00:25,620 --> 00:00:27,795
and walk more or less one mile,
11
00:00:27,795 --> 00:00:29,790
to connect to this small lab,
12
00:00:29,790 --> 00:00:32,070
because this was the
only location in
13
00:00:32,070 --> 00:00:34,950
my town where I can get
access to Internet.
14
00:00:34,950 --> 00:00:37,110
The first thing that
I do when I went to
15
00:00:37,110 --> 00:00:39,720
the lab was open
Google Search.com,
16
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,845
and just find tutorial
about how to use Photoshop,
17
00:00:43,845 --> 00:00:45,890
how to use the software
18
00:00:45,890 --> 00:00:48,565
that people in that
time used for design.
19
00:00:48,565 --> 00:00:51,585
I remember that that
was very fun to me.
20
00:00:51,585 --> 00:00:53,690
I am an immigrant,
I remember I moved
21
00:00:53,690 --> 00:00:56,120
to United States
like 10 years ago,
22
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,300
and I can't find job in
design, because first struggle,
23
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:03,090
I cannot speak English.
Even now, probably,
24
00:01:03,090 --> 00:01:05,630
you need to use subtitles
to understand me well,
25
00:01:05,630 --> 00:01:07,835
because even now I cannot speak
26
00:01:07,835 --> 00:01:10,265
English very well. But I try.
27
00:01:10,265 --> 00:01:12,410
As immigrants when we come
28
00:01:12,410 --> 00:01:14,555
from our country
to United States,
29
00:01:14,555 --> 00:01:16,475
the first idea that
we have in mind
30
00:01:16,475 --> 00:01:18,610
is just apply in fast food.
31
00:01:18,610 --> 00:01:23,495
I remember back 10 years ago
when I moved to Connecticut,
32
00:01:23,495 --> 00:01:26,480
I went to multiple
fast food places,
33
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,665
and I never get a job,
34
00:01:27,665 --> 00:01:29,975
and my first job experience
in the United States,
35
00:01:29,975 --> 00:01:32,455
was cleaning toilet in a hotel.
36
00:01:32,455 --> 00:01:33,975
I really loved that job.
37
00:01:33,975 --> 00:01:36,840
I never imagined that, years later,
38
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,500
I'm gonna start my
first career in design.
39
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:43,370
How I get from
working for a hotel,
40
00:01:43,370 --> 00:01:47,430
doing housekeeping work,
into Google is interesting.
41
00:01:47,430 --> 00:01:50,625
It's a crazy and
interesting journey.
42
00:01:50,625 --> 00:01:54,450
I applied to other
design studios,
43
00:01:54,450 --> 00:01:58,155
and I learned a lot doing drafts
44
00:01:58,155 --> 00:02:01,545
of rough designs for
digital agencies.
45
00:02:01,545 --> 00:02:04,610
And after a couple years
working in the industry,
46
00:02:04,610 --> 00:02:06,884
I just studied by myself,
47
00:02:06,884 --> 00:02:11,085
using Google Search to
find how you Photoshop,
48
00:02:11,085 --> 00:02:12,930
how you use internet,
49
00:02:12,930 --> 00:02:16,240
how you freehand, and
all the design software.
50
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,970
After that, I remember
that a friend suggests me,
51
00:02:19,970 --> 00:02:22,190
hey, I think you should
work for Google,
52
00:02:22,190 --> 00:02:24,000
you have the potential
to work for Google.
53
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:24,965
But at that time,
54
00:02:24,965 --> 00:02:27,000
I don't believe that
I can work for Google,
55
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,020
because I never
went to college.
56
00:02:29,020 --> 00:02:31,095
All the design
things that I know,
57
00:02:31,095 --> 00:02:32,415
I learned by myself.
58
00:02:32,415 --> 00:02:34,920
He recommends me, I
didn't get the job,
59
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:38,480
I didn't pass the second call
from the interview process.
60
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,225
Years later the
recruiter contact me
61
00:02:41,225 --> 00:02:42,710
because they think that
62
00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:44,360
I could be a good
fit for the company.
63
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,470
I received an email,
64
00:02:46,470 --> 00:02:48,680
"Hello from Google," and that was
65
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,570
really interesting
because in the beginning,
66
00:02:50,570 --> 00:02:52,790
I thought that was a spam,
67
00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:55,660
but I decided to open
because I'm curious.
68
00:02:55,660 --> 00:02:57,270
When I read the email,
69
00:02:57,270 --> 00:02:58,940
where the recruiter says, "Hey,
70
00:02:58,940 --> 00:03:00,140
we believe that now you
71
00:03:00,140 --> 00:03:01,610
could be a good fit
for the company,
72
00:03:01,610 --> 00:03:03,350
and we want to have
a call with you.
73
00:03:03,350 --> 00:03:05,480
Do you still want to
work for Google?"
74
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,565
Of course, I was very nervous,
75
00:03:07,565 --> 00:03:10,115
I can't believe that I
was reading that email,
76
00:03:10,115 --> 00:03:12,380
that Google wants to
have a call with me.
77
00:03:12,380 --> 00:03:14,180
I feel very important,
78
00:03:14,180 --> 00:03:17,380
and of course, after 10 minutes,
79
00:03:17,380 --> 00:03:20,175
after I take a deeper breath,
80
00:03:20,175 --> 00:03:22,110
I decide to answer the email,
81
00:03:22,110 --> 00:03:24,320
and I answer, and the
recruiter was very humble.
82
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:25,970
They made me feel important,
83
00:03:25,970 --> 00:03:27,395
they was very friendly with me,
84
00:03:27,395 --> 00:03:31,715
and this interaction made
me feel more confident.
85
00:03:31,715 --> 00:03:35,060
Then I move to the second
step of the interview,
86
00:03:35,060 --> 00:03:37,025
with a visual designer,
87
00:03:37,025 --> 00:03:38,900
where that person was
asking me questions
88
00:03:38,900 --> 00:03:41,510
about how I design,
89
00:03:41,510 --> 00:03:43,040
what is my design process?
90
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,955
They tried to
understand how I work.
91
00:03:45,955 --> 00:03:47,430
And the next step was,
92
00:03:47,430 --> 00:03:48,985
"Go to the office,
93
00:03:48,985 --> 00:03:51,560
and have a interview in
person with eight people."
94
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,780
That was very intimidating
to me, again,
95
00:03:53,780 --> 00:03:55,190
especially that I don't speak
96
00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:57,115
English, but I prepare myself.
97
00:03:57,115 --> 00:03:59,505
I have a problem
with my language,
98
00:03:59,505 --> 00:04:01,080
but I know that I was good in
99
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,820
my design, I feel
confident with that.
100
00:04:02,820 --> 00:04:05,700
What I did, I did
amazing presentation
101
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:07,345
with a lot of interaction,
102
00:04:07,345 --> 00:04:09,155
because I want to show
them all my potential,
103
00:04:09,155 --> 00:04:11,500
and then I received the call
that they want to hire me.
104
00:04:12,500 --> 00:04:13,910
I'd really like to
share this because
105
00:04:13,910 --> 00:04:17,930
sometimes we don't believe
that we can go far, and me,
106
00:04:17,930 --> 00:04:19,975
that I came from a village,
107
00:04:19,975 --> 00:04:22,235
or a small town, in
the Caribbean without
108
00:04:22,235 --> 00:04:24,650
Internet access and now
working for Google,
109
00:04:24,650 --> 00:04:27,870
is something that
made me feel proud.7683
