A BRITISH schoolgirl who received a personal letter from Google’s boss after she asked him for work has nabbed her first job — at the ripe old age of seven.
The Sun reports Chloe Bridgewater, from Hereford, found fame after her letter to the technology company went viral.
The savvy schoolgirl and her little sister Hollie will sit on software company Kano’s advisory board, testing new products before they are released and regularly meeting its executives.
Kano (not to be confused with the rapper) makes computers which children can use to learn to code and counts Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak as a customer.
Chloe made headlines after penning a note to the “Google boss”, which detailed all her credentials.
She said she was “very good in class and am good at my spelling and reading and my sums”.
The girl added: “My dad told me to give you an application [sic] 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.”

Chloe submitted the application through the Google careers page and eagerly awaited a response.
Just days later she received a letter from the company’s CEO, Sundar Pichai.
He told the Hereford schoolgirl: “I think if you keep working hard and following your dreams, you can accomplish everything you set your mind to.”
“I look forward to receiving your job application when you are finished with school! :)”

Proud dad Andy Bridgewater shared the letter on Linkedin before it became a social media sensation.
Mr Bridgewater explained that the girl had been in a car accident a couple of years ago and that the letter was a huge boost to Chloe’s confidence.
“She is now even more eager to do well at school and work for Google,” wrote Mr Bridgewater in the post.
“Can’t thank such a busy person enough to take time out to make a little girl’s dream become one step closer, although not sure she’s fully aware that it’ll take more than riding go karts and sleeping in pods to make it with Google!”
