A 7-year-old applied to Google asking for a job—here's how the CEO responded




A seven-year-old Chloe Bridgewater, who lives in Hereford, UK, wrote a letter to Google asking for a job.

"After seeing images of Google offices with their bean bags, go-karts and slides my 7-year-old daughter decided to write to Google to see if they would give her a job," Andy Bridgewater writes on LinkedIn.


Bridgewater provided CNBC with the original letter, addressed to "google boss": Like a skilled job seeker, Chloe discusses her own qualifications ("I like computers") and explains why she believes she would be a good fit for the company and provides references: 

"My teachers tell my mum and dad that I am very good in class and am good at my spelling, reading, and my sums."

The letter caught the eye of Google's CEO Sundar Pichai, who wrote back with encouragement: "I think if you keep working hard and following your dreams, you can accomplish everything you set your mind to — from working at Google to swimming in the Olympics.

"I look forward to receiving your job application when you are finished with school!"
