Defining Google
pbaumgar writes "Did anyone catch the 60 Minutes piece on Google this evening? They mention their hiring process a bit in the story: 'For example, Google is hiring about 25 new people every week, and receives more than 1,000 resumes a day. But they're determined to stick to their rigorous screening process. Google uses aptitude tests, which it has even placed in technical magazines, hoping some really big brains would tackle the hardest problems. Score well on the test, and you might get a job interview. And then another and another. One recent hire had 14 interviews before getting the job - and that was in the public relations department.' As a person who recently interviewed with them this past summer (I didn't get the job), I was wondering what others' experiences were like who interview with Google. I had 4 interviews, and it was by far the longest and most interesting interviewing process I've been involved in. I'd love to hear others' experiences in their attempt to get hired."
It doesn't automatically make you right, either, though. :)

In other words, way to go, you got it entirely wrong. Grandparent is correct.
Actually, here, well is an adverb. It modifies the verb "to be," or I am.
No. "well" is usually an adverb, but not in this case. You can see that it must be an adjective here by looking at what other values of X are possible for "I am X":
I am quick
* I am quickly
I am clever
* I am cleverly
Going back to the question of "well" vs. "good" in the OP's post, "well" was the correct choice for Standard English, although of course "good" is very commonly used as an adverb in most dialects of American English.
Freedom is not increased by mere diminuation of government. Anarchy is freedom for the strong and slavery for the weak.
