Google's Copernicus Center

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the international-outsourcing-is-for-pansies dept.

Brad Barnich was one of countless readers to note that Google has begun accepting job applications for its new Copernicus data center. I imagine this will eat a sizable portion of their IPO profits, however with this new center not opening until 2007, they at least can take their time!

    Thank you for contacting Google about our Copernicus Research Center.

    We've received an overwhelming response to this opportunity and are not currently accepting additional resumes. We will, however, keep your information on file should we have an opening in the future. At the current staffing levels, we anticipate that we may need additional applicants on or around April Fool's Day in 2104. Until then, we appreciate your interest in Google and your taking the time to write us.

    Sincerely,

    The Googlunar Recruiting Team
    Now, would Google have been able to be this kewl if they had gone public?
