How Not to Get a Job at Microsoft

Last fall, Janelle Godfrey, a technical recruiter for Microsoft Corp., listed on her blog (http://blogs.msdn.com/jobsblog/ articles/janelle.aspx) what she called "Best Comments Heard at Microsoft's 'Meet the Company' Presentations on College Campuses this Year":

"I heard that Seattle has the highest suicide rate in the country ... do you think that has anything to do with Microsoft being headquartered there?"

"Okay, I hate using computers ? what other type of jobs would you recommend for me at Microsoft?" "Are people at Microsoft allowed to own or use on campus iPods or Macs? I heard that managers take them away if you are found to have one!"

"I heard that Google has more users from the Redmond area than anywhere else in the country, and that the internal servers now have to block it from Microsoft users due to the fact that all employees use Google."

"Does Microsoft come up with any original ideas? It just seems as though you copy things everyone else does but just make a lamer version."
