Awhile ago, Channel9, a MSDN blog posted some videos that demonstrate the interview process at Microsoft. These are pretty insightful for candidates since they give a sense of how the interview day’s going to unfold. Since they’re a little hard to find, I’m posting links to the three-part series.
So, here’s the three-part series:
Part 1 – The Interview With the Recruiter
Your first steps at Microsoft!

A month ago I ordered a router from frys.com. Apparently, they think that providing my e-mail address to get order status info also means I want their “newsletter”. There’s a link to unsubscribe, which I’ve tried several times, but that never worked. So, I reply to the spam, telling em to remove me (the address is service@outpost.com so I figured somebody might reply. No reply. I reply to next weeks’s newsletter, threatning legal action. Still yet no reply. This week, I forward the mail to spam@uce.gov and cc it to them. Haha! They replied this morning, apologizing, and saying they have removed me from the system!
Now, why do I have to threaten them like this for them to simply remove me from their list? And yeah, lesson learnt: next time they’re getting plonk@unhandledexception.net
