Worst Interview Ever

Earlier today I had the Microsoft interview I wrote about earlier. The only way the interview could have been more awkward is if a bear ninja came in wielding a light saber and told us he had the wrong room. Seriously, the interview was HORRIBLE.
It was partially my fault, partially theirs. I was in a frantic rush to get an extra resume printed since it has been updated. However, the computer systems were bugging out and it took forever to print. Normally I am 30mins early for such events, but today I made it ~10 minutes early worrying about my wrinkled resume and hand full of stuff (newspaper, backpack, sac of nuts, cup)… I was knocked out of my comfort zone early. In an attempt to recover, I started reading some USAToday and attempted to chill out before my interview… but it just wouldn’t happen. I was out of my norm and it was to stay that way until I realized the interview had prematurely ended. Read the rest of this entry »
Tomorrow I have an interview with Microsoft. The interview is to determine if there are any future full-time position I qualify for, or if any internships are available within a reasonable distance. Since most of their work is done in Redmond, Washington, a full-time spot will most likely all I seek. The problem, however, is that I won’t graduate until December 2008, which is a lifetime to an ever-changing work environment. But nonetheless I will enjoy sitting down with Microsoft and experiencing what it takes to become employed with them. And you never know, something may come up.
