Trying to get shwag at the recent career fair, I dropped my resume off at the Microsoft booth. Keep in mind that my resume has a Linux penguin on the top right corner. Sure enough, within the week they emailed me asking for an interview. I thought to myself, “Eh, what the hell? Might as well see what they are up to.”

Last Friday they called for a phone interview. Brandon had already done the same thing, so I sort of knew what to expect. During his interview they asked a few different brain teasers, so that is what I was expecting.

The interview took about 20min. He proded me about everything I knew related to software. The questions were pretty slanted toward development. They were really interested in what apps I have written, how large, what language, etc. When asked what my best language was, I responded BASH. Soon after that he wrapped up the conversation. He told me upfront they would not hire me. Still trying to figure out if that is a good or bad thing…..
