Google is advertising for a new Doodler to create the special designs that celebrate historic figures and events on its home page. The job calls for a "sense of humor, love of all things historical and imaginative artistry". "First impressions matter," Google told prospective Doodlers. "Every day, hundreds of millions of online users visit the Google homepage. Yes, to search. But also, to be delighted, informed, and surprised (And maybe even to laugh a little). "The Google Doodle makes this possible - it's the change that is constant on Google.com." "From Jules Verne to Pac-Man, you have the reins to our brand and iconic logo and can run free with your innovative ideas." Based at Google headquarters in Mountain View, California, the successful candidate will also have graphic design qualifications or at least four years professional experience. No salary details were given. Google's employee selection process is famously rigorous, requiring several stages of professional and personal interviews, on the phone and in person, as well as tests. "Virtually every person who interviews at Google talks to at least four interviewers, drawn from both management and potential colleagues," Google says in its information for applicants. The firm's first Doodle was created in 1998 to mark the Burning Man festival, a counter-culture gathering in Nevada popular in Silicon Valley and attended by Google's executive chairman Eric Schmidt, and its founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. The designs have become ever-more frequent and complicated since then, incorporating animations and interactive elements. Doodles this year have celebrated the 80th anniversary of the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and the 182nd birthday of Eadweard J. Muybridge, the photographer who proved that all four of a galloping horse's legs are off the ground simultaneously. (Read by Emily Cheng. Emily Cheng is a journalist at the China Daily Website.)
