Hey campers! I’m back! Wow. I so didn’t intend to become absent from JobsBlog for this long. I have a bag filled with excuses for my absence over the final two weeks (vacation, all day offsites, conferences, traveling, etc), but I think you probably just want me to get back to blogging … appropriate? I’ve received TONS of email to go by means of nowadays so if you have sent me an email in the final week, I’ll do my greatest to answer by end of day these days. And if you’ve sent me an ideal applicant development (yay,
Windows 7 Ultimate Key!), I’ll examine it out these days. I’m compiling everything and sending out the thank you prizes subsequent week so remain tuned. If you submitted something, I'll follow-up directly in email. Since I need to focus my creative juices on getting my inbox down to ZEB, I want to throw an interesting discussion at ya so you can talk amongst yourselves (and of course, I’ll chime in,
Windows 7 Professional, too!) … There’s a lot of talk around Building 19 on the recent Business Week cover story about Microsoft. Since I think it’s healthy to address concerns head on and get issues out within the open, I gotta know … What did people think about this coverage? Worrisome? Valid? Silly? More than dramatic? I think Microsoft, like any company,
Office 2007 Product Key, has its fair share of positives and negatives. Unless you go out and start your own company, you’ll never find your utopia. Anyone who has met me in person knows that I’m not your typical recruiter in that I don’t sit there and spout off the 100 ideal reasons to work for my company. You have received to make sure you know what you are buying. I feel Microsoft is correct for some people; I don’t believe it’s correct for others, and I’m always happy to engage in dialogue about the pros and cons of working here … and things Microsoft can do to improve the experience. Part of the reason Microsoft tends to obtain so much press on our culture is because the company encourages us to connect with our customers and the community. You’d be hard pressed to find another company out there that opens up as much as we do. And inevitably the airing of clean laundry opens the door to dirty laundry … and it’s funny how the press or anti-Microsoft bloggers never seem to pick up on all those great stories coming out of here. I did enjoy the Business Week profile of the famed Mini-Microsoft. (It’s confirmed … he’s a he!) I’ve never talked about Mini’s blog on here – but I do read it and I do enjoy it … a lot. Mini is a incredibly passionate Microsoft employee who clearly cares about this company. (Not to mention that he is a fantastic writer.) I sometimes cringe at the amount of confidential "HR" info that gets posted … but you’d be amazed at the really cool conversations I’ve had with potential prospects because of details they read on Mini’s blog and proactively address with me. That information sets the stage for extra productive and open dialogue. If you are considering working at Microsoft,
Office Enterprise 2007, I do encourage you to examine it out … but I also encourage you to e-mail me if you read anything concerning,
Office Professional 2007, and I’d be happy to offer my take. So what thoughts do you have on these series of articles? gretchen
