Microsoft Blogs and Employment
It is interesting; I track a number of weblogs by Microsoft employees—mostly weblogs surrounding their development tools and the CLR, as that is in keeping with my research, and also in keeping with my interest in languages and their runtimes. What I think is interesting is that you occasionally find posts with notes like:
| <shameless_plug> I’m looking for experienced industry candidates who are interested in joining our main campus teams in the Developer Division. We have openings for development, test, and program management. If you are interested, send me your resume (jasonz)! <shameless_plug> |
While I’m sure these position announcements are available from a central source, Microsoft’s blogging program managers (I think) are putting the word directly out about the fact that they’re looking for team members. I think that’s interesting; it represents a change in the way things have traditionally been done.
