I got a script running on this server that try to look for unusual referrers in my apache access.log, recently it found this line:

65.57.245.11 - - [xx/xx/xxxx:xx:xx:xx +0200] "GET /blog/data

So what ?:

  • The IP: 65.57.245.11 is the gateway of Google mountain view employees.
  • The referrer is a custom search engine and it searches for webpages that contains (resume OR CV OR Vitae) in title, and C++ and Python and (Software Engineer OR Architect OR Programmer) in everything.

Try the referer url.

Now, you know what to write in your resume title if you want Google HR to find you.
