Doug Edwards, “From 1999 to 2005 was Director of Consumer Marketing and Brand Management for Google” is wrring a blog on his time at Google. It is a really interesting read.

He was friendly and relaxed and didn’t laugh at the scraps of the conversational Russian I was able to summon when he asked about my time in Siberia. Finally, he leaned forward for the big test.

“I’m going to give you five minutes,” he told me. “When I come back, I want you to explain to me something complicated that I don’t already know.” He then rolled out of the room toward the snack area. I looked at Cindy. “He’s very curious about everything,” she told me. “You can talk about a hobby, something technical, whatever you want. Just make sure it’s something you really understand well.”

I would recommend you go and read it all.
