Is There Anyway To Make Money At This.

I'm having fun with this and all, lord knows how I like to state my opinion, but I am curious if there is any opportunity involved that may lead to me being on Google's payroll? I mean, like if I show my loyalty but gaining details will there ever be a point where somebody says, "Wow! I think this guy is awesome! We should hire him to (fill in the blank)? Just curious.

 

Cheers! Kevin L Strickland

Re: Is There Anyway To Make Money At This.

@KevinS I wouldn't bank on that but long term commitment always opens up some opportunities. I have people in my community who are working in the Mapping/GIS arena and find this work relevant to their profession. 

 

Just do it for the fun of it !

Hi @KevinS please, remove your email, is not allowed to share here.

Local Guides is a volunteer program, so you don't have to expect any reward or any acknowledge that could lead to a job.

If you are looking for a job in Google, please, refer to http://careers.google.com

Best luck!

Re: Is There Anyway To Make Money At This.

@KevinS It's up for interpretation, but all I can say is that if you join Local Guides just to get a job at Google, it probably won't work to well. Your participate in the Local Guides program should be based on your enthusiasm within the program itself. Being sincere is more important, and of course you should be having fun. But in the end, it's open book really. I've seen some people that have involved in various Google program end up getting a job at Google, so it's definitely not impossible. Whatever the result will be up to you 🙂
