Behind the Scenes in Recruiting
Having been an HR director in a past life I know that to job seekers there is a lot of mystique around the world of recruiters.
What are they looking for? What are they basing decisions on? Should I wear the red blouse or the blue?
And speaking as the wife of a former long-time Microsoft employee, certain particular corporations have huge buzz around how to get in there and what it's like once you're there.
There are many many blogs about Microsoft, and one I find useful, frank, and straightforward is JobsBlog, a blog on technical careers at Microsoft.
Even if you're not interested in working for Microsoft, if you are actively job hunting, check it out for a dose of down-to-earth recruiting reality.
