Fascinated by her Kindle Fire tablet and robots — and totally taken by the idea of working somewhere with drive chairs, go-karts, and slides — Chloe decided to apply for a job at Google.

Here’s Chloe’s letter, shared with Business Insider by her father, Andy Bridgewater:

Dear google boss

My name is Chloe and when I am bigg I would like a job with google. I also want to work in a chocolate factory and do swimming in the oylmpics, I go swimming on Saturday and on Tuesday. My dad said I can sit on bean bags and go down slides and ride go karts in a job in google. I like computers too and have a tablet I play games on. My dad gave me a game where I have to move a robot up and down squares, he said it will be good for me to learn about computers. My dad said he will get me a computer one day. I am 7 years old and very good in class and am good at my spelling and reading and my sums. My dad told me if I carry on being good and learning one day I will be able to have a job at google. My sister Hollie is also very clever but she like doll dressing up, she is 5. My dad told me to give you a application to get a job in google. I don’t really know what one of them is but he said a letter will do for now. Thank you for reading my letter, I have only ever sent one other and that was to Father Christmas. Good bye.

Chloe Bridgewater, Age 7

Super cute, right?

Imagine her surprise and delight when she got a letter back from the CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai, who encouraged her to follow her dreams.

“I look forward to receiving your job application when you are finished with school! :)” he wrote.

 (Business Insider has confirmed the veracity of the letter.)

In that LinkedIn post, Andy said the letter was a much-needed confidence booster for Chloe, who was “knocked down” by a car years ago.

Chloe’s fascination with Google began recently, Andy told Business Insider, when she asked her father where his ideal place to work would be.

Andy currently works in sales for a refrigeration-system parts manufacturer.

“And I said, ‘Oh, Google would be a nice place to work,'” he said, because of its world-famous perks and the cutting-edge work it does.

When Chloe decided she wanted to work there, too, her father encouraged her to apply and “get the ball rolling,” he said.

All the attention garnered from Pichai’s response has redoubled Chloe’s drive to work for Google. Andy says his daughter now wants to find a way into the Silicon Valley-based company through going on TV and talking to the media.

He’s largely resisted, though, saying he wants her to focus on her studies and develop her skills.

But Andy wants to brush up on his own technological skills to catch up with Chloe.”Sadly, I think I’ve got to up my game,” he said.

If you are not satisfied with your situation at your workplace you should quit a find something that is more suitable for you.

Whether you’re looking for your very first job, switching careers or re-entering the job market, finding a job is not an easy task. How to get prepared for a job interview?

Revise your resume/CV:  before you start job hunting, make sure that your resume is as complete and as up-to-date as possible.

Get prepared for an introduction:When at an interview, the interviewer wants you to get relaxed, and speak about your accomplishments, why you want to work there and what your future goals are. The key is to keep it short – between 30 seconds and 2 minutes. Memorize it, but don’t sound like a robot!

Make a list of work-related skills you’d like to learn:Your employer is interested in hearing about how you want to become a better employee.

Be computer literate:Most jobs require people who are computer literate and know how to operate different equipment, like fax machines, scanners, photocopiers.

Be communicative:Employers prefer to hire people who are able to express their thoughts efficiently both verbally and in written communication.

Research the company:Become familiar with the history of the company. When applying for a job, you should learn as much as you can about the company you want to work at.
