Simple really.
I have been a big fan of Google since they started years ago and I am a subscriber to the Google Friends newsletter.
A couple of years ago, they posted a message to this stating that they were looking for researchers for a new project called "Google Answers".
I applied to join and after a series of incredibly difficult tests, I was accepted into the program.
I mainly do the research in the summer, getting up very early in the morning while the US is still asleep so I can get the good projects before the other researchers.
It's very enjoyable work and it feels good being a part of Google.
Plus, we get lots of free stuff, like the quality blanket for GA's 1st birthday last year.
The only problem right now is the bad exchange rate because I get paid in dollars but I'm sure that'll sort itself out...
