A pretty darn good job, too, I might add. Of course, I didn't exactly sit on my hands during that time. I was consulting and took a permanent position during this period. I also went through 4 full interview loops on campus for full-time positions, 1 full loop for a contract position, and who knows how many phone screens.<br /><br />For those who followed my exploits last year, you heard me say time and time again that "it's about finding the right fit" or "I'm not just looking for a job - I want the <span style="font-style: italic;">right</span> job." Well, that's what I found. It took a bit longer than I anticipated, but it was worth the wait.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23563471-114188162621631474?l=my-microsoft-diary.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christian Buckleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16068491272727991063noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23563471.post-1141713460638045552006-03-06T22:30:00.000-08:002006-03-06T22:37:40.646-08:00If you've found this link, you've probably been reading the <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/jobsblog/default.aspx">http://blogs.msdn.com/jobsblog/default.aspx</a> blog at Jobsblog or digging through ancient texts on <a href="http://blogs.technet.com/billcan/default.aspx">Bill Canning's</a> blog.<br /><br />If you're looking for specifics on my adventures while interviewing at Microsoft, I'm afraid the content is no longer available. However, I have recently started a blog called <a href="http://buckleyplanet.typepad.com/life_is_work/">Life is Work</a>, where I am trying to capture some of the core concepts I shared in 2004 and early 2005.<br /><br />For a more comprehensive look at my background and current endeavors, you can skim through the content on <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/engineer--marketing-guy--engineer/">my Squidoo page</a>.
