Why do all lyrics sites suck?

I don't know. But I'm going to create my own to change this.

Live from Bellevue

Just checked in at the Hilton. Everything has been going fine. I got a new Mitsubishi Eclipse as a rental car. I would like it if it wasn't an eye-sore and is a blind spot galore. Some people are bound to like it right?

Pics will come when I get back.

Seattle Tomorrow

I will be flying out of Ottawa International Airport to Redmond tomorrow for my Program Manager interview on Monday. So Scared.

So far the Microsoft recruiters I've talked with are all very nice and they seem to want you to do well. I got my first phone interview by hassling my university recruiter over the period of a few months. I was set up for a phone interview in late August with another recruiter. Since I will be a new grad next year, the phone interview questions were mainly based on which one of the 3 core technical positions I was interested in, which was PM. Questions resolved around conflict solving, design and technical communication. The main question was "What questions would you ask if I asked you to design a shoe prototype for me?" I like to think I did pretty well on that question.

About three weeks later, I got a call from a recruiting coordinator who was responsible to set up my trip to Redmond. My itinerary booked by MS Travel Services will be Ottawa -> Washington D.C. -> Seattle. I have to say that is probably the worst trip ever. I did not realize at first but I will actually be going away from Seattle on my way to DC. My main concern when booking the trip was the times. My first tentative itinerary had my arriving in Seattle at 11:15 PM. And with my interview the next day at 8:15 AM, it was superweak. My return trip will include a 2:45 layover in Chicago at 3:45 AM. :( The good thing is I won't miss any work here at RIM since Monday is Canadian Thanks Giving.

Earlier this week (D -8), I was contacted by another recruiter, a college recruiter this time, with whom I had a little chat with over the phone. She asked me some questions like "why do you want to work for for MS?" and "Why PM?". She also asked about my other interviews and offers and what did I like about working at RIM. She will be the person I will meet with first on Monday morning 8:15 AM. I also took the chance to ask her about the recent news about Microsoft reviewing their hiring plans. She assured me that they haven't had any changes in college recruiting.

Some things I will try to avoid:
Not waking up on time. Tomorrow and Monday.
Get lost on the way.
Phail.

Some sites I have been looking at to prepare for my interview (Basically a compilation of blog posts. You will find more sources within these links):

The Awesome Working Conditions at RIM Ottawa

If you can't tell, it's rain water.

I just saw the new Indiana Jones!

Yea. That's what I would say if I was working at the Waterloo or Missassauga RIM offices. All RIM employees there were invited to a special screening of the movie. What does Ottawa get? A new building that we should have been in a month ago? A Cafeteria?.

Well the new target move date is August... I personally think August 2009 is when it's really doing to happen. Because we haven't moved yet, they converted most of the meeting rooms here into office space. The lounges/cafeterias were also filled with desks and chairs for new interns to sit. This is Ghey. Fortunately I was moved into one of the meeting rooms (shared with 3 other people) and facing a big window and I don't have to be disturbed by people wanting to get a drink from the vending machine.
