Should I answer this job ad? I think I could do the work, and it is Google--but it's advertising.

Of course you should answer it! There is no reason not to, and several good reasons to go. Such as:

If they invite you to their shin-dig, you can find out if the job (which appears to be writing banner ads for Google, hardly the most soul-destroying advertising job I can think of) would be fun; it might be and they might want you to do it. That would be excellent.

But you should also go simply to have a chance to interview, because this is a skill one should always keep polishing. Attending will give you a chance to talk to other people who are writerly and maybe network a little. That seems good, too.

K. [but maybe you should go to get the Google merch and then sell it on eBay]
