So, I haven't heard anything from Microsoft about my phone screen/interview. I'm guessing that isn't positive. Since I didn't really go through a MSFT recruiter, I don't have anyone to contact for feedback about the call. I guess I just have to wait until someone from there calls me, or accept that I won't get feedback.
It's interesting (to me) how I got the phone screen. Here's the unlikely chain of events: I read a blog called JobsBlog, written by a few people in the MS recruiting department. The woman who primarily posts there went to MS because her husband got a job there. I have contacted her a couple of times about Seattle life, and tips on convincing Courtney to move.
I read another blog, which is about aftermarket developer tools that MS creates.
When I read about this new team they were forming, to create dev tools, I contacted the lady in the recruiting department, and asked her who I should contact to get on this team. It just so happens that her husband is a PM on the team.
So, she forwarded my resume over to her husband, and he talked to the dev side, and I got a phone call from them.
Unlikely chain of events, right?

Can't give up just yet...You never know what might happen. Just look at the events from the last couple of days...It seemed hopeless didn't it? But look now...in a brand new home! I speak with a forked tongue however....I will miss all of you terribly if you go.
