Google is well known for its philanthropic efforts and boasts an amazing donation of 1 billion in annual grants and 1 million employee volunteer hours annually. Community involvement and giving back to those in need is something that Google takes pride in and your interviewer would like to hear that you would make a similar difference if given the power. Prior to your interview, be sure to research some of Google's community initiatives so you can speak to Google's efforts in giving back while you answer. Some very unique ways that Google gives back are through the Code for America program and the Khan Academy.

"One way that I already make an impact is by starting with my local community. I volunteer as a reader in our local elementary school, and I also teach kids coding camps at the local community college during the summer months. It feels great to help people and step out into the community. If given the ultimate power, I would ensure that all children throughout the world would have equal access to literacy materials in their native language."

"I would like to help with Google's plan to provide 1 million employee volunteer hours over the next five years. It's vital that we give to those less fortunate than ourselves. I truly believe that and look forward to joining your cause if am hired for this role. Your question is surely thought-provoking. I think if I were to be given the power to make an impactful difference in the world, it would be to bring clean water to every part of the world. It's hard to believe that there are places around the globe that don't have access to reliable and clean water."
