Google snubs city that named itself Google

A CNN photo illustration welcomes travelers to Topeka, which changed its name to try to attract a Google project.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
  • Topeka changes its name to "Google, Kansas" for a month
  • Google still chooses a neighboring Kansas City f or a high-speed internet project
  • Mayor jokes that he's fine with life moving slower anyway
  • Mayor also says Topeka might still benefit in long run by being close to Kansas City

(CNN) -- What more could a city do?

In an effort to woo a Google high-speed internet project, the Kansas capital of Topeka last year changed its name to Google, Kansas, for a month.

Like, actually changed it. By a vote of the City Council.

Apparently that wasn't enough. The search giant on Wednesday announced it had chosen Topeka's blandly named neighbor -- Kansas City, Kansas -- as the winner of its contest. That city, just 60 miles to the east of Topeka, soon will get some of the fastest internet connections in the country.

Topeka's mayor could be mad about all of this.

He could be embarrassed that his city -- home of soybean fields, animal research, and, let's not forget, Kansas' capitol dome -- changed its name to that of a giant corporation to court its favor, only to be rejected.

Maybe he feels like he'll lose business to Kansas City, which, by 2012, is expected to have Google-installed internet connections that are 100 times faster than the national average.

Bill Bunten is the mayor of Topeka, Kansas.

Or maybe not. As it turns out, he's really not that upset.

"I've often wondered what difference does it make if it takes you 10 seconds or one second to access information," Topeka's colorful mayor, Bill Bunten, said by phone on Wednesday. "My life goes a little slower than that."

Asked whether he planned to go to Kansas City -- which, by his estimation, is only a 50-minute drive away "if you break a couple of laws" -- to try out the new high-speed internet connection, Bunten said "I doubt it."

"I might go over there and see if I can find a store that sells Googles," he said, joking that the online company doesn't do retail.

Bunten is a self-described technophobe who says he uses the internet to read his e-mail -- and that's about it. He still prefers the telephone.

"I'm not completely computer illiterate, but close," he said. "My son works at Washburn University and he's really good and my wife is on the computer all the time, but I'm so old that I still like to talk on the telephone, believe it or not."

He never assumed Topeka's name-changing stunt would win the project. And plenty of other mayors flailed unsuccessfully for Google's attention, too. A mayor in Florida swam with sharks. One in Minnesota jumped in a frigid lake.

"I'm a practical man. I thought we would just love to have been chosen, but I don't think 'disappointed' is the word. We're happy that it's coming to Kansas and we're close enough to Kansas City that, if they expand, why, the possibility that we could be involved in that would probably be enhanced," he said.

A Google spokesman thanked Topeka for its interest.

"These communities sent a clear message: people are hungry for better and faster Internet access," Dan Martin wrote in an e-mail to CNN.

"This was a tough decision and we want everyone to know we carefully considered every application. We'll be looking closely at ways to bring ultra high-speeds to other cities across the country."

Bunten said he doesn't have any regrets about renaming the city as an attempt to get Google's attention. He had a little fun with it.

The move was also good PR for the city, he said. On April Fools' Day 2010, Google joked that it had changed its name to Topeka as a sort of hat tip.

"We usually have about 4,000 hits per week on our websites; we had over 200,000 on that day," Bunten said.

"We got a lot of attention," he added. "Not that we need it. We're a great city. We're the capital of Kansas!"

@Fun12 - Job Interview - Positivity is the answer

Job Interview - Positivity is the answer



Q: Why do you want this job?
Be honest with yourself: Are you interested in what the position entails? Or is it just an impressive increase in salary? You should know exactly what will be expected of you. Have you seen a job description ? Have you researched the companys website? A recommended answer could be: I am convinced that the role would very much suit my career aspirations and current skill set.

Q: Why should I hire you?
This question is all about selling yourself. Try pointing out your strengths by using examples of work you have previously done in relation to the requirements for this role. You could say something like: I believe that the job specification listed many skills I could bring to the organization.

Q: What is your biggest weakness?
This is known as a negative question, one that interviewers use to test your ability to keep your cool. Lets face it: we all have weaknesses. But you should try to spin your weaknesses into something positive. A possible answer could be: I think time management is something I could work on, but I am getting better at prioritizing. Avoid being a perfectionist or saying things like, I have no weaknesses that I know of. This makes you come across as arrogant and overconfident.

Q: Why are you leaving your current role?
Always remain positive when discussing your reasons for leaving. You should have a structured response to this question before your attend an interview. Simply stating that you would like a new challenge or change of environment can sometimes also send out warning signals to employers, as they may be concerned about hiring a job hopper who is constantly on the look out for something more challenging. Be honest but professional. No employer will want to hire if you are negative about previous employers and you will immediately be seen as unprofessional.

Q: Tell me about yourself?
This is not the opportunity to tell the interviewer your life story. When interviewers ask this question, they are actually more interested to know what you enjoy in your career and as a person and how well you would fit in with the culture of the company. A good answer to this could be something like: I like meeting new people and enjoy being involved with administration for projects and events .

Q: Where do you want to be in five years?
Unfortunately, many people are usually not prepared for it, and few actually know where they want to be in five years time. A suggested answer could be: Id like to think I will be working for a successful organization such as this but in a role with increased responsibility, or, Whatever I do, I want to be doing it to the best of my ability. It is the way you answer rather than what you say thats the most important here.
Finally, always remember that the interview is a two-way process, so it is important to have a list of questions you can ask your interviewer at the end. These could include asking the interviewer what motivated them to join the organization, or if they have any reservations about your skill set/experience at this point.
Remember that an interview does not have to be a grueling process if you are well-prepared and know exactly why you are going for the role. The key to a successful interview is to be positive.
