So I am interviewing with Microsoft on Wednesday...

[jcrod]

Yep, Texas A&M. Really, I don't see anything that special about my resume. I guess that's part of some of the intrigue. The job description is way over my head, but they see something in there they like to show this amount of interest.

I'm just along for the ride at this point, really. I actually work in IT, but I'm working in an implementation specialist role right now. This job would be lead project development stuff.

Right now I'm treating it as a free trip to Seattle and a chance to see how I measure up, anything else (like the job) is a bonus.

Should of responded to this. It sounds like we have similar jobs, where you located and who do you work for? PM if you don't want to post out in the open.

We wouldn't be talking transfer for that AHF, now would we?

Well well, look who's back from the dead

Now I ain't sayin' she's a gold digger[/kanye]

[AngryMan]

Man...sit yo' ass down and take the money and run. It is the American way.

Awww...AHF....I thought we were closer than that...

Besides I don't like Kanye anyway...I'm a country girl myself.

I was just playin'

Anyway, that position was waaaaaaaay over my head. Basically the equivalent of heading up development for Microsoft Word, but for a different product.

The recruiting chick has some other positions that she thinks I'd be a good fit for as well, so we'll see.

If you ever get a chance to interview with them, be prepared, it ain't no picnic!

Don't say that. You know you're a bad ass AHF.

Just FYI, I don't think elementary teachers just go and apply for Microsoft jobs...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

No argument there about the teacher comment

The recruiter and I clicked and got along pretty well, and it was still the most brutal interview I've ever done.

And apparently that salary estimate I gave earlier in this thread was about six times too low for that job. Woulda been nice!

Clicked huh? I'm jealous...

So what's on the agenda next for you?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I have no idea. She's going to look through some other job descriptions and run my resume by some project managers for other projects, and give me a call after that.

In the meantime it's back to work

[Kdfelicity]

I thought you said you had vacation...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Yeah, but May is sooooo far away right now. I'm going to Belize for a week

[Kdfelicity]

Well that's good, you need it.

What'd you do for Valentines?

[The sone]

so when can we expect the free software to start rolling out?

[spurster]

Microsoft succeeded by making affordable software for affordable computers that was just good enough to get something done. One major problem has been that security and quality have been sacrificed for convenience, but all the security and quality in the world is no good if people can't use it. Another major problem is their monopoly status and their tendency to make you into a Microsoft junkie.

I like Linux myself, but you have to have a clue to use it effectively.
