I bombed my first interview at Google so badly that it took 3 years to get another one. Here's what I learned.

• Andrew Yeung lied about his interests during his first Google interview.
• After failing that interview, he took the lessons he learned to land another Big Tech role.
• Lessons from Yeung's experience emphasize valuing niche obsessions and assessing cultural fit.

Throughout university, Google was always my dream job. I watched "The Internship" and dreamt of the day that I would get to work there.

Eventually...
