While running a global empire, Google chief executive Sundar Pichai took a few minutes to write a letter to one of the tech giant\u2019s youngest job applicants this month.<\/p>\n

After seven-year-old Chloe Bridgewater sent a handwritten letter to the\u00a0\u201cgoogle boss\u201d <\/a>expressing her interest in working for the company because of her love of beanbags and computers, Pichai\u2019s response left her and father Andy Bridgewater incredibly excited.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo say she is delighted after receiving this letter signed by Sundar Pichai himself is an understatement,\u201d Bridgewater wrote on LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is now even more eager to do well at school and work for Google.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the initial letter to Pichai, published by\u00a0Business Insider<\/em><\/a>, Chloe explained why she wants to work for Google:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI 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 \u2026 My dad told me to give you a application to get a job in google. I don\u2019t really know what one of them is but he said a letter will do for now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Pichai\u2019s response, which Bridgewater shared on LinkedIn, has tugged at the heartstrings of more than 100,000 people, with over 3000 comments praising the simple deed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad that you like computers and robots, and hope that you will continue to learn about technology,\u201d wrote Pichai, who told Chloe she would be able to “accomplish everything you set your mind to”.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to receiving your job application when you are finished with school!\u201d<\/p>\n
