Subject: Power of Visualization and the Law of Attraction

hello there,

I would like to share the email below with you.
2 days ago, during our workshop with Ven. Nyanasanti we did a little visualization exercise where we visualized what we would be doing a few years from now. Part of my visualization was that I was working (very happily) at Google.
Another exercise involved stating my goals and removing from my mind the fears and roadblocks that i will not achieve them. Again, landing a job at google was one of them (in fact I chose it as my most important goal at present)

Next day I received the email below from Google. I had already applied to them in February (the application/recruitment season is the beginning of the semester) and they had rejected my resume. I had not re applied.
Every month, Google gets up to 150,000 resumes, equivalent to a stack of paper 50 feet high.

This was simply amazing.

(Also, this is not the only surprising result of the visualization exercise and the law of attraction)

Hi Ritika,


I wanted to connect with you as I came across your profile recently on
the web and wanted to find out if you would be interested in exploring
engineering opportunities at Google.  Your Computer Science background
from the Columbia University particularly interested me.  I know that
Columbia has a great CS program!  Google has a need for engineers with a
solid foundation in Computer Science.

I would like to have an opportunity to chat with you about your
background and Google engineering opportunities.  Location, projects and
start dates are all open to discussion.

A little about me.  I work with the Engineering recruitment team and my
role is to find talented professionals, like yourself, in our industry
and share with them details about exciting opportunities at Google.


Google is continually growing and evolving to meet the challenges and
changes that make up the world of technology and information.


I look forward to hearing from you even if you're not interested at this
time.


Thank you Ritika,
