My last week's interaction with Google's recruiter (I have to admit she is very nice person and genuinly wanted to help, but she was forced to put everyone through Google grinding machine).

I have scheduled your phone [coding tests] interview for the following:

DATE: .....

TIME: .....

PHONE: .....

Hi,

I think I already passed technical interview process with Google a few times in the past and gained quite a bit of an extra experience since then.

As I mentioned I'd be happy to connect with the team in person to see how my experience can be of benefit to Google enterprise, but considering my current situation - going through new rounds of pre-screening coding tests to prove my worth is not something I have interest in.

I completely understand. As I mentioned this is the first step of the process. If you do decide to reengage in the process I would love to work with you. The prescreen call will take about 45-minutes and focus on your most recent coding experience, and the experience that you've gained since your last interview. This phone call isn't just a skill assessment, it will help further narrow the team that might be a match for you. I know the process can be a bit lengthy, but it's designed to have a low standard deviation and really hone in on your skill-set, and area of expertise.

Let me know if you change your mind.
