A few of the skills for this job involve: The ability to keep a secret ("keep project details confidential") and a good driving record. Clearly Google needs people that can drive well for this job, because the car can't be expected to, what....? Drive itself?

One bummer: The job wouldn't officially turn you into a Googler, with all the benefits Google employees enjoy. It's a short-term contract position.

Another bummer: Those that have tried it say that it's more tedious than a regular driving position.
