>>But "person who refused to interview at Google" doesn't sound as nice as "ex-Googler" to most.
You could have gone a bit further, and been a "person who refused a job offer from Google". That, imo, would carry more weight.
It's similar to the way some companies specifically look for newly admitted Stanford/Harvard/MIT students, then pay those students ridiculous sums to give up college and work for them instead.

Anyone can say they refused a job offer from Google. It's puffery unless you can substantiate it, and substantiating it is awkward and smells of praise-seeking.
