A friend of mine recently interviewed with Google. Besides the fact that they get something like 16,000 resumes a day, I was intrigued by these questions that my friend was asked in the interviewing process:

• Have you ever started a non-profit?
• Have you ever started a business that was profitable?
• Have you ever won a national or international competition?

Not your typical interview questions. Clearly, Google is looking for individuals who are enterprising, competitive, and interested in more than a paycheck.
