I got a Call from Microsoft Today

[bazooka]

I think they want me to work for them.

Kinda scary. Microsoft is the 800 pound gorilla.

[thayne]

Microsoft is a 6 pound chiwawa that thinks it's an 800 pound gorilla...

Are you sure you aren't delusional? I don't think companies hire people that way.

[Tommyknocker]

What do they want you to do? If it has anything to with "vinyl media applications", it's just Cap sending out his Dolly Party invitations.

They called about my resume.

Ahhh... ok. I thought you didn't apply and then one day they just called you.

WooooooHoooooooooooo....can you make mine the 64 bit version? My friend already got me Office XP pro and WinXP pro 32 bit version


Can you also get me a copy of Windows Movie Maker 2???.........

Ok, I'm sorry, even I had to laugh at myself for that request

<for anyone using MM2, no offense (offence for Flan) but it sucks, get a real software>

[ViRaL1]

Good luck with that.

[glockjs]

yeah hook it up with xp64 corporate

[ViRaL1]

I want a free unlimited license for Window$ 3.11 for Workgroups.

Then I can charge people to upgrade. :P

[bazooka]

I will see what I can do.

[ViRaL1]

Think of the kittens.

funny enough....you know I still have all the 3.11 floppy disks from when I got my first windows computer....a Pentium 60

[ViRaL1]

Complete with the Divide by Zero error?

Cool!

[bazooka]

So everytime someone runs 3.1, a kitten is killed?

[northcat_8]

Complete with the Divide by Zero error?

Cool!

Absolutely...and it even has 2 different versions of the "blue screen" ....it's vintage.

It will make your resume look good but
you will find the pay and conditions are below industry par. You will
be able, however, to take advantage of
MSP/MSCE /MCN training to developer level.

Best of luck!

Join the evil forces!!! DO IT!!!

--Actually I like Microsoft, mostly. Best of luck Bazooka!!--

[Ripper2860]

You sure they're not calling about that Bootleg copy of WinXP you have installed !!??

That or maybe it's part of the new proactive security meausres Bill has put in place. You know the one where they call every owner of a Microsoft product and inform them via telephone of the latest security patch available, beg them to install it and have them sign an NDA.


Good luck. I interviewed with them some time ago, but did not make it past round 4 of interviews. It seems I was over qualified for a support manager position. Has me a little worried if they set the bar that low.

What type of job: support, developer, sales, marketing?

[northcat_8]

If they stick you in tech support, remember to forget all you know about computers and just read from the damn book they give you.

Oh yea, and in tech support, you will also need to buy yourself another personality...something like a slow witted, deaf, drunk turtle with a stick up it's ass that has just taken 7 sleeping pills, should make you fit into tech support perfectly.

[yoda313]

Hello,

Microsoft has TECH SUPPORT?????

Duly noted, thank you.

"Are you sure you aren't delusional? I don't think companies hire people that way."

It's called RECRUITING!!!

Technical support

Technical support

OH God stop you're killing me my side...oh my side...

Microsoft Tech Support.... .....make sure you follow the Northcat guide above...

let me know if you get the job...I'll make sure it's not you when I call in just ******* with them.

I'm calling HP tech support today (I'm home sick again today). My notebook will not burn a DVD. It's because I don't have a DVD burner in the notebook, but it will be fun until they finally get around to asking me that.

[yoda313]

Hello,

I'm home sick again today

Yeah right! You're playing hookey again aren't you???? Fess up!

Kevin

--just kidding, get well soon! --

[Dr. DOS]
