Google Hiring For Google Audio
Google’s job postings are always a great way of figuring out future company plans. This time, Garett Rogers found postings saying, straight out, that they were looking for people for “Google Audio”.
Some of the positions they are looking to fill are: Customer Support Technician, Senior Sales Technical Support, Provisioning Manager, Media Account Manager, Business Analyst, Account Executive.
Rogers speculates that Google Audio could be the rumored Google music store, or it could refer to audio advertising. Should prove interesting.
