I've had a hard week/weekend and am feeling down about the whole job thing since I was not offered the one I had gone in for (it was really perfect...), and your sweet comments have cheered me right up. Will continue working hard towards my next interview &lt;3</p> <p>Patty - Yeah, their interview process is known for being intense. Had the other candidate not been so much more qualified than me, I'd have had to go in for a SECOND full day of interviewing hehe. As that was my very first interview experience, I think I'll feel more comfortable in any other interview now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-ive-been#post-364777 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 22:01:00 +0000 taylor 364777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very best of luck!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-ive-been#post-364771 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 21:53:54 +0000 Ornella 364771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So that's where you've been!

Congrats on the interview!<br /> I haven't been on an interview for a hundred years and I'm shocked to hear that it and last days!!!!! What the heck do you do??????????<br /> The last interview I went on was was loosely: "Hey how ya doing?" 'Good' "You worked on this stuff?" 'Yeah'. "You work with so 'n so?" 'Yeah--he/she's good'. ""K--I'll take you to your desk". But I was still sweating buckets---I can't even begin to image what an all day interview would feel like!!!!! Let alone having to prepare for it!!! I usually just showed up . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-ive-been#post-364389 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 12:43:36 +0000 Aunty 364389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>By the cringe you have been busy!!<br /> Best of luck with the interviews, keep us updated x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-ive-been#post-364362 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 08:07:44 +0000 Louise 364362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck with the interviews x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-ive-been#post-364341 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 05:53:21 +0000 Scarlet 364341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck with your interviews!

Microsoft interviews are usually 1 full day. At least they bought me lunch ^^</p> <p>Kelly - Boat vacation sounds fun! No time for it now though hehe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-ive-been#post-364265 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 02:26:21 +0000 kellygirl 364265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So that's where you've been. I thought you were off on a boat vacation! Good luck on the interview! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-ive-been#post-364260 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 02:24:23 +0000 MNsara 364260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It all sounds very exciting Your interview outfit sounds great and I'm looking forward to eventually seeing it. I hope it all leads to a wonderful job offer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-ive-been#post-364248 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 02:12:34 +0000 sarah 364248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck, Aida.

This sounds like an exciting opportunity, though grueling. It reminds me of an academic job interview: they usually run two days long, from breakfast to dinner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-ive-been#post-364187 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 01:10:37 +0000 Aida 364187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie I did, it was so much fun reading all the comments! Sorry I couldn't get a title to you &gt;&lt; Loved seeing all the photos, too! I may actually refer to it if I get asked to provide any non-technical writing samples 0:)</p> <p>And thank you! Their interview process is pretty intense, but it'll be fun to do it again now that I have an idea of how it works (not as scary as I thought it'd be). I must also say that I felt very confident in my outfit, and it's certainly something I'd not have worn pre-YLF, especially to an interview, so a double thank you there: black skinny jeans, white button-up, gray cropped blazer, red pumps (!), knotted champagne pearls. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-ive-been#post-364179 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 01:01:16 +0000 Angie 364179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was wondering where you were! Did you see that your post about the gathering went in? </p> <p>Hang in there! And the best of luck </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-ive-been#post-364176 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 00:57:58 +0000 Aida 364176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ladies! You guys are a great boost after a long week I had my first interview loop yesterday, and it went well but they told me they want me to interview for a different group that will better fit my skills. So it seems like it will be a bit of a mini saga while we track down the right job and do more interviews (and hopefully I end up hired for something great!). I'm definitely going to need help with more interview outfits, I had a hard enough time with this one! Will post it soon I hope </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-ive-been#post-364169 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 00:52:55 +0000 chewyspaghetti 364169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-ive-been#post-364167 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 00:50:18 +0000 rae 364167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, we missed you!

Microsoft interviews do have a reputation, don't they? So many people don't prep for an interview. You're already ahead of a lot of applicants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-where-ive-been#post-364153 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 00:23:47 +0000 Mo 364153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck!
